Under the configuration of 10 x 2.5-inch front drives, your server supports the following front backplanes:
6 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA + 4 x 2.5'' AnyBay backplane
Use this section to understand the alternatives that a 6 x SAS/SATA + 4 x AnyBay backplane offers.
With a 6 x SAS/SATA + 4 x AnyBay backplane, following front drive combinations are supported:
6 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA + 4 x 2.5'' AnyBay
See this section to understand the cable routing of 6 front SAS/SATA drives and 4 front AnyBay drives with
the 6 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA + 4 x 2.5'' AnyBay backplane installed.
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 6 front SAS/SATA drives and 4 front AnyBay drives,
refer to the following cable routing scenarios depending on your server configuration:
•
“Cable routing for onboard configuration” on page 383
• “Cable routing with an SFF HBA/RAID adapter” on page 385
• “Cable routing with a CFF RAID adapter” on page 389
Cable routing for onboard configuration
The following tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and processor board
connectors for onboard configuration.
The following figure illustrates the cable routing for the configuration of 6 front SAS/SATA drives and 4 front
AnyBay drives bays. Connections between connectors:
1 ↔ 1 , 2 ↔ 2 , 3 ↔ 3 , ... n ↔ n .
