Cable routing with a CFF HBA/RAID adapter
The following table shows the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and adapter connectors 
when a 16i CFF HBA/RAID adapter is installed.
Table 30.  Mapping between backplane connectors and adapter connectors when a 16i CFF HBA/RAID adapter is 
installed
Backplanes From To
Front BP (SAS) SAS 0 C0
SAS 1 C1
Rear BP (if any) SAS C3
Note: For power and input cable connection of the CFF HBA/RAID adapter, refer to “CFF HBA/RAID 
adapter” on page 57.
The following figure illustrates the cable routing for the configuration of 8 x 2.5-inch front SAS/SATA drive 
bays with a 16i CFF RAID adapter and a rear 2 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive cage. Connections between 
connectors: 
1  ↔  1 ,  2  ↔  2 ,  3  ↔  3 , ...  n  ↔  n
