Drive backplane connectors

The following illustration shows the internal connectors on the drive backplanes.

Note:

Some cable connectors have locks or latches that must be disengaged to disconnect the cable.

There are two types of drive backplane used in the server: one that controls only SAS drives and one that
controls both SAS and NVMe drives. Cable routing for drive components is different for SAS and SAS/NVMe
drives:

• SAS drive backplane connectors
• SAS/NVMe drive backplane connectors

For information about drive backplane cable routing, see “Cable routing for drives” on page 40.
