When installing a 8-bay backplane and a AnyBay backplane, always install the 8-bay backplane
to drive bay 0-7, and the AnyBay backplane to drive bay 8-15.
Step 2.

Step 4.
Apply drive bay labels based on the type of backplane installed. Several drive bay labels come with
each type of the supported drive backplane:
• 8-bay backplane
– 12-15 (NVMe)
Apply this label to drive bay 12-15 if an AnyBay backplane is installed to drive bay 8-15.
– 12-15
Apply this label to drive bay 12-15 if an 8-bay backplane is installed to drive bay 8-15
– 4-7
Apply this label to drive bay 4-7 if an 8-bay backplane is installed to drive bay 0-7.
• AnyBay backplane
– 4-7 (NVMe)
Apply this label to drive bay 4-7 if an AnyBay backplane is installed to drive bay 0-7.
– 12-15 (NVMe)
Apply this label to drive bay 12-15 if an AnyBay backplane is installed to drive bay 8-15.
Note: Only drive bay 4-7 and 12-15 may support NVMe solid-state drives when AnyBay backplane
is installed. Drive bay 0-3 and 8-11 always support SATA/SAS drives only.
