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 2.5'' SAS/SATA drives, 2 front 2.5'' AnyBay drives, and 2 front 2.5'' 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 signal cables , 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 an 8i SFF HBA/RAID adapter (Gen 3 or Gen 4).
Figure 1. Cable routing for one front AnyBay backplane and an 8i SFF HBA/RAID adapter (Gen 3 or Gen 4)
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (NVMe) | 1 NVMe 6–7 | 1 PCIe connector 1 |
| 2 NVMe 8–9 | 2 PCIe connectors 8 and 9 | |
| Front BP (SAS) | 3 SAS 0–3, SAS 4–7 | 3
|
The following tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and a 16i SFF HBA/RAID adapter (Gen 3 or Gen 4).
Figure 2. Cable routing for one front AnyBay backplane and a 16i SFF HBA/RAID adapter (Gen 3 or Gen 4)
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (NVMe) | 1 NVMe 6–7 | 1 PCIe connector 1 |
| 2 NVMe 8–9 | 2 PCIe connectors 8 and 9 | |
| Front BP (SAS) | 3 SAS 0–3, SAS 4–7 | 3
|
| 4 SAS 8–9 | 4
