4.  SAS/SATA/NVMe* Data Cable Guide 
By default, all WFT and WF0 L6 integrated systems include SATA data cables routed from the front hot swap backplane to the onboard SATA 
controller connectors. 
SAS/SATA/NVMe* data cables are not included with any of the chassis only building block SKUs. They must be ordered separately to match the 
desired system configuration. 
On the backside of each installed backplane is a multi-port SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD data connector for each set of four SATA/SAS drives. Backplanes 
that include support for 2.5” PCIe* NVMe drives also include one PCIe OCuLink connector for each PCIe NVMe drive it supports. Drive numbers in the 
cable configuration tables match the specific cable connectors found on the given backplane. 
 
Figure 21. SAS backplane 
Note: The back side (cable connector side) of a backplane will have one OCuLink cable connector for each PCIe NVMe SFF drive it supports. If a 
backplane has no OCuLink cable connectors, then it does not have support for NVMe drives. Drive bay population rules may apply for backplanes that 
support SATA/SAS and PCIe NVMe drives. See the appropriate System Technical Product Specification for drive support information.
