6 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA + 4 x 2.5'' AnyBay backplane
Use this section to understand the cable routing of six SAS/SATA front drives and four AnyBay front drives for liquid cooling configuration with 10 x 2.5'' AnyBay front 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 scenario:
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 SAS/SATA drives and 4 front AnyBay drives bays with a 16i SFF 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 8–9 | 3
|
| 4 SAS 0–3, SAS 4–7 | 4
