Front (16 x 2.5" SAS/SATA + 8 x 2.5" AnyBay) + Middle 8 x 2.5" SAS/SATA

This topic provides cable routing information for the front (16 x 2.5" SAS/SATA + 8 x 2.5" AnyBay) + middle 8 x 2.5" SAS/SATA configuration.

• Cable routing to SFF 16i adapters

• NVMe cable routing to BP3

Cable routing to SFF 16i adapters​

Note

The location of the adapter and cable connectors on the adapter may differ from those shown in the illustration. For details, see the table below.
