6 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA + 4 x 2.5'' AnyBay backplane
See this section to understand the cable routing of 6 front 2.5'' SAS/SATA drives and 4 front 2.5'' AnyBay drives with 10 x 2.5 backplane (Gen 4) 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 the power cable for CFF RAID adapter, refer to CFF RAID adapter.
To connect cables for a rear NVMe/SAS/SATA drive backplane, refer to Rear NVMe/SAS/SATA drive backplane.
To connect signal cables for a backplane for standard 6 front 2.5''SAS/SATA drives and 4 front 2.5'' AnyBay drives, refer to the following cable routing scenarios depending on your server configuration:
Cable routing with an SFF HBA/RAID adapter
The following tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and a 16i SFF HBA/RAID adapter (Gen 3 or Gen 4).
Figure 1. Cable routing for 6 front 2.5'' SAS/SATA drives and 4 front 2.5'' AnyBay drives bays with a 16i SFF RAID adapter (Gen 3 or Gen 4)
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0, SAS 1 | 1
|
| 2 SAS 2 | 2
| |
| Front BP (NVMe) | 3 NVMe 0–1 | 3 PCIe connector 1 |
| 4 NVMe 2–3 | 4 PCIe connector 7 |
Cable routing with a CFF RAID adapter
The following tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and a 16i CFF RAID adapter.
Note
The following illustrations are for Gen 4 adapters. For Gen 3 adapters, the illustration might be slightly different.
Figure 2. Cable routing for 6 front 2.5'' SAS/SATA drives and 4 front 2.5'' AnyBay drives bays with a 16i CFF RAID adapter
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0 | 1 C0 |
| 2 SAS 1 | 2 C1 | |
| 3 SAS 2 | 3 C2 | |
| CFF RAID adapter | 4 MB input | 4 PCIe connector 4 |
| Front BP (NVMe) | 5 NVMe 2–3 | 5 PCIe connector 7 |
| 6 NVMe 0–1 | 6 PCIe connector 1 |
Figure 3. Cable routing for 6 front 2.5'' SAS/SATA drives and 4 front 2.5'' AnyBay drives bays with an 8i or 16i CFF RAID adapter (Gen 3 or Gen 4) with 2 x 2.5 rear SAS/SATA drives installed
| Backplane/adapter | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0 | 1 C0 |
| 2 SAS 1 | 2 C1 | |
| 3 SAS 2 | 4 C2 | |
| Rear BP (SAS) | 4 SAS | 4 C3 |
| CFF RAID adapter | 5 MB input | 5 PCIe connector 3 |
| Front BP (NVMe) | 6 NVMe 2–3 | 6 PCIe connector 7 |
| 7 NVMe 0–1 | 7 PCIe connector 1 |
