Two 8 x SAS/SATA backplanes
This section provides cable routing information for the server model with two 8 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA front
drive backplanes.
To connect power cables for the front backplane(s), refer to
“Backplanes: server models with 2.5-inch front
drive bays” on page 297
.
To connect signal cables for the front backplane(s), refer to the following cable routing scenarios depending
on your server configuration.
• “16 x SAS/SATA” on page 308
– “Onboard connectors + 8i RAID/HBA adapter” on page 308
– “8i/16i RAID/HBA adapter” on page 309
– “CFF 16i RAID/HBA adapter” on page 310
