One 8 x SAS/SATA and one 8 x AnyBay (Gen 4) backplanes
This section provides cable routing information for the server model with one 8 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA 
backplane and one 8 x 2.5-inch AnyBay backplane (Gen 4).
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.
•  “Onboard connectors + 8i RAID/HBA adapter” on page 318
•  “Onboard connectors + 16i RAID/HBA adapter” on page 319
•  “Onboard connectors + CFF 16i RAID/HBA adapter” on page 321
