8 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA backplane
Use this section to understand the cable routing of 8 SAS/SATA front drives for liquid cooling configuration with 10 x 2.5'' AnyBay front backplane 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 for a backplane for standard 4 x 3.5'' front drives, refer to the following cable routing scenarios depending on your server configuration:
Cable routing for onboard configuration
The following illustrations and tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and system board connectors for onboard configuration.
Figure 1. Cable routing for onboard configuration
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0 | 1 PCIe connector 8 |
| 2 SAS 1 | 2 PCIe connector 9 |
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 HBA/RAID adapter (Gen 3 or Gen 4).

| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0, SAS 1 | 1
