Dl380p Gen8 8xLFF Backplane power connector details 643704-001

Hi everyone, 

I have the 8xLFF SAS Backplane with part nr 643704-001, meant for a Proliant Dl380p Gen8, however I'm using it on a personal project where I'm trying to manage around 20 LFF drives from a single DL360p Gen8 1U server.

What I would like help is to know the pinout details of the power connector and voltage does it take. 
Is that a normal EPS connector where its 12V all accross the top and ground in the bottom pins or is something different? 

Thank you for the help,

Ralms.

The power connector on the HDD back plan is specific design voltage and it is 4 pin connector.

General pin voltage is with below link

For more voltage detail on the HDD back plan power connector pls log a case with HPE.

Thank you

Hi there

maybe your question has been answered before, maybe not. In that case, this may help. Those pinouts are measured and confirmed... I made my own laboratory HDD enclosure with PC power supply for testing Smart Array controllers.

WOW, I'm confused... I have a dl380p G8 and behind the hard disk enclosure I have an 8-pin socket, but you refer to it as proliant DL380 g9... is it the same?
i need to connect a different power supply to a 4 HP 8x SFF HDD Drive Cage - ProLiant DL380p Gen8 - part no. 670943-001.
Can you help me?
Thanks

Dear Ravi Swamy,
The link you show leads to the power connector of the proliant, which has 10 pins. I am looking for the pin sequence for the dl380p backplane HPE - 643705-001 hard disk esterni sas 2.JPGpower supply which I am attaching a photo of, which has 8 pins. Unfortunately I no longer have the whole server at my disposal, otherwise I would have taken the measurements myself. Thanks for any help you can give me.
