8 x 2.5''/10 x 2.5'' U.3 drives with 10 x 2.5 AnyBay backplane

Use this section to understand the cable routing for eight or ten U.3 drives with 10 x 2.5 AnyBay backplane.

To connector cables of RAID flash power modules, refer to RAID flash power modules.

Cable routing with an SFF HBA/RAID adapter​

The following illustrations and tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and an 8i or 16i SFF RAID adapter (Gen 4).
