8 x 2.5'' front drives
Use the section to understand the cable routing for signal cable connections for 8 x 2.5-inch drive
backplanes.
Under the configuration of 8 x 2.5-inch front drives, your server supports the following front backplane:
8 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA backplane
Use this section to understand the SAS/SATA backplane cable routing for server model with eight 2.5-inch
front drives.
To connect cables for a 7mm drive backplane, refer to
“7mm drive backplane” on page 270.
To connect power cables for a backplane for standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives, refer to
“Cable routing for
backplane power” on page 274
.
To connect cables for M.2 drives, refer to
“M.2 drive backplane” on page 267.
To connect signal cables for a backplane for standard 4 x 3.5-inch front drives, refer to the following cable
routing scenarios depending on your server configuration:
•
“Cable routing for onboard configuration” on page 372
• “Cable routing with an SFF HBA/RAID adapter” on page 374
• “Cable routing with a CFF RAID adapter” on page 378
Cable routing for onboard configuration
The following illustrations and tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and
processor board connectors for onboard configuration.
The following figure illustrates the cable routing for the onboard configuration of 8 x 2.5-inch front SAS/SATA
drive bays. Connections between connectors:
1 ↔ 1 , 2 ↔ 2 , 3 ↔ 3 , ... n ↔ n .
