2 x SAS/SATA backplanes

Use this section to understand the signal cable routing for two SAS/SATA backplanes.

Note

Ensure that you observe the installation rules and sequence order in PCIe riser and adapter installation rules and order and Drive backplane installation rules and order.
For more information on the power cable routing, see 2.5-inch drive backplane power cable routing.
Depending on your configuration, the RAID/HBA adapter will be installed in different riser locations.
Connections between connectors; 1↔1, 2↔2, 3↔3, ... n↔n
When routing the cables, ensure that all cables are routed appropriately through the cable guides.

This configuration contains the following storage controller combinations:

16i RAID/HBA adapter

SAS/SATA cable routing to riser 3	SAS/SATA cable routing to riser 2	SAS/SATA cable routing to riser 1

Note Depending on your configuration, the RAID/HBA adapter will be installed in different riser locations.
