2 x AnyBay backplanes

Use this section to understand the signal cable routing for two AnyBay backplanes.

Note
This configuration contains the following storage controller combinations:

No RAID/HBA adapters

Note
The AnyBay backplanes are used as pure NVMe backplanes when no RAID/HBA adapters are installed.
