One 8 x AnyBay and one 8 x NVMe backplanes (Gen 4)
This section provides cable routing information for the server model with one 8 x 2.5-inch AnyBay and one 8
x 2.5-inch NVMe backplanes (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 329
• “Onboard connectors + CFF 16i RAID/HBA adapter” on page 331
Onboard connectors + 8i RAID/HBA adapter
The following shows the cable connections for the 8 AnyBay + 8 NVMe configuration (Gen 4) with one 8i
RAID/HBA adapter.
