One 8 x AnyBay and one 8 x NVMe backplanes
This section provides cable routing information for the server model with one 8 x AnyBay front drive backplane and one 8 x NVMe front drive backplane.
One 8i/16i RAID/HBA adapter + onboard connectors + one retimer card
From | To |
---|---|
Backplane 1: SAS | 8i/16i* RAID/HBA adapter on PCIe slot 2:
|
Backplane 1: NVMe 0-1, 2-3 | Onboard: PCIe 1, PCIe 2 |
Backplane 1: NVMe 4-5, 6-7 | Retimer card on PCIe slot 1: C0, C1 |
Backplane 2: NVMe 0-1, 2-3 | Onboard: PCIe 3, PCIe 4 |
Backplane 2: NVMe 4-5, 6-7 | Onboard: PCIe 5, PCIe 6 |
Note
*If a 16i RAID adapter is used, SAS cable 1 has an extra dummy connector (not shown in below illustration) to connect to the other connector of the 16i RAID adapter.
Connections between connectors: 1 ↔ 1, 2 ↔ 2, 3 ↔ 3, ... n ↔ n
