3 x AnyBay + 3 x SAS/SATA backplanes
Use this section to understand the signal cable routing for three AnyBay backplanes and three 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:
