16i RAID/HBA adapter

This topic provides cable routing information for the front 12 x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA + rear 2 x 3.5-inch/4 x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA configuration with one 16i RAID/HBA adapter.

The following uses the 2 x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA rear backplane as an example for illustration. The cable routing for the 4 x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA rear backplane is similar.

Connections between connectors: 1 ↔ 1, 2 ↔ 2, 3 ↔ 3, ... n ↔ n
