Onboard connectors
This topic provides cable routing information for the front 12 x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA + rear 2 x 3.5-inch/4 x 3.5-
inch SAS/SATA configuration with onboard connectors.
The following uses the 2 x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA rear backplane as an example for illustration. The cable
routing for the 4 x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA rear backplane is similar.
Connections between connectors:
1 ↔ 1 , 2 ↔ 2 , 3 ↔ 3 , ... n ↔ n
