Server models with sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drives (hardware RAID)

Use this section to understand the cable routing for server models with sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drives (hardware RAID).

Note

• There are two types of configurations:

  • Two 8i RAID adapters

  • One 16i RAID adapter

• Ensure that all cables are routed through the correct cable clips.

Figure 1. Cable routing server models with sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drives, two 8i RAID adapters (hardware RAID)

Cable	From	To
1 Power cable for backplane 1	Power connector on backplane 1	Backplane 1 power connector on the system board
2 SAS signal cable for backplane 1	SAS 0 and SAS 1 connectors on backplane 1	Connectors on RAID adapter 1
3 Power cable for backplane 2	Power connector on backplane 2	Backplane 2 power connector on the system board
4 SAS signal cable for backplane 2	SAS 0 and SAS 1 connectors on backplane 2	Connectors on RAID adapter 2

Figure 2. Cable routing server models with sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drives, one 16i RAID adapter (hardware RAID)

Cable	From	To
1 Power cable for backplane 1	Power connector on backplane 1	Backplane 1 power connector on the system board
2 SAS signal cable for backplane 1	SAS 0 and SAS 1 connectors on backplane 1	C0 and C1 connectors on the 16i RAID adapter
3 Power cable for backplane 2	Power connector on backplane 2	Backplane 2 power connector on the system board
4 SAS signal cable for backplane 2	SAS 0 and SAS 1 connectors on backplane 2	C2 and C3 connectors on the 16i RAID adapter
