6 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA + 2 x 2.5'' AnyBay + 2 x 2.5'' NVMe backplane
See this section to understand the cable routing of 6 front SAS/SATA drives, 2 front AnyBay drives, and 2 front NVMe drives with 10 x 2.5 backplane (Gen 5) installed.
To connect power cables for a backplane for standard 2.5'' or 3.5'' drives, refer to Backplane power cable routing.
To connector cables of RAID flash power modules, refer to RAID flash power modules.
To connect cables for a rear NVMe/SAS/SATA drive backplane, refer to Rear NVMe/SAS/SATA drive backplane.
Cable routing with an SFF HBA/RAID adapter
The following tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and an 8i SFF HBA/RAID adapter (Gen 3 or Gen 4).
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (NVMe) | 1 NVMe 8-9 | 1 PCIe connector 7 |
| 2 NVMe 6-7 | 2 PCIe connector 1 | |
| Front BP (SAS) | 3 SAS 0-3, SAS 4-7 | 3
|
Cable routing with a CFF HBA/RAID adapter
The following table show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and an 8i CFF HBA/RAID adapter (Gen 3).
To connector the power cable for CFF RAID adapter, refer to CFF RAID adapter.
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0-3 | 1 C0 |
| 2 SAS 4-7 | 2 C1 | |
| CFF RAID adapter | 3 MB input | 3 PCIe connector 4 |
| 4 Power connector | 4 Internal RAID power connector | |
| Front BP (NVMe) | 5 NVMe 8-9 | 5 PCIe connector 7 |
| 6 NVMe 6-7 | 6 PCIe connector 1 |
