Note:
Your server supports three types of 2.5-inch-drive backplanes: SATA/SAS 8-bay backplane (eight SATA/SAS
drive bays), AnyBay 8-bay backplane (four SATA/SAS drive bays and four NVMe drive bays), and NVMe 8-
bay backplane. Depending on the backplane type and quantity, the installation location of the backplanes
varies.
• One backplane
Always install either the SATA/SAS 8-bay backplane or the AnyBay 8-bay backplane to drive bays 0–7.
• Two backplanes
– Two SATA/SAS 8-bay backplanes, two AnyBay 8-bay backplanes, or two NVMe 8-bay backplanes:
install the two backplanes to drive bays 0–7 and drive bays 8–15
– One SATA/SAS 8-bay backplane and one AnyBay 8-bay backplane: install the AnyBay 8-bay
backplane to drive bays 0–7; install the SATA/SAS 8-bay backplane to drive bays 8–15
• Three backplanes
– Three SATA/SAS 8-bay backplanes, three AnyBay 8-bay backplanes, or three NVMe 8-bay
backplanes: install the three backplanes to drive bays 0–7, drive bays 8–15, and drive bays 16–23
– Two SATA/SAS 8-bay backplanes and one AnyBay 8-bay backplane: install the AnyBay 8-bay
backplane to drive bays 0–7; install the two SATA/SAS 8-bay backplanes to drive bays 8–15 and drive
bays 16–23
– Two AnyBay 8-bay backplanes and one SATA/SAS 8-bay backplane: install the two AnyBay 8-bay
backplanes to drive bays 0–7 and drive bays 8–15; install the SATA/SAS 8-bay backplanes to drive
bays 16–23
– Two NVMe 8-bay backplanes and one SATA/SAS 8-bay backplane: install the two NVMe 8-bay
backplanes to drive bays 0–7 and drive bays 8–15; install the SATA/SAS 8-bay backplanes to drive
bays 16–23
Before installing the 2.5-inch-drive backplane, touch the static-protective package that contains the new
backplane to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server. Then, take the new backplane out of the
package and place it on a static-protective surface.
To install the 2.5-inch-drive backplane, complete the following steps:
Note: Depending on the specific type, the connectors on your backplane might look different from the
illustration in this topic.

Step 1. Determine the location of the backplanes to be installed.
Step 2. Connect the cables to the backplane.
