2 x SAS/SATA + 1 x AnyBay backplane
This section lists the required components for server models with 2 x SAS/SATA + 1 x AnyBay 2.5-inch hot-swap backplane.
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 and cable clips.
Y-cables are shown as individual cables in the illustrations for each backplane.
Connect cables prioritizing Gen 4 RAID adapters.
For more information on the cables that are used, see Backplane cable list.
