2 x SAS/SATA + 2 x AnyBay backplanes

This section lists the required components for server models with 2 x SAS/SATA + 2 x AnyBay 2.5-inch hot-swap backplanes.

Note

  • 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.

This configuration contains the following combinations:

Onboard NVMe/SATA + 2 x retimers + 3 x 8i RAID/HBA​
