NVMe* SSD Support
By default, the backplane within the base system configuration is cabled to support a SATA drive interface
using the on-board SATA controllers.
PCIe* NVMe* drive support is optional and requires an additional set of SlimSAS cables (sold separately).
Intel Cable Accessory Kit: iPC -
NTPCBLSL104K
.
The Kit includes four SlimSAS* cables and one NVMe* LED support cable. The SlimSAS cables are routed
from PCIe* SlimSAS connectors on the server board to matching connectors on the backplane. The NVMe*
LED support cable is routed from a 7-pin NVMe* LED Support cable connector on the server board to a 3-pin
cable header on the backplane. (See
Figure 37. NVMe* Support Cable Connectors
The SlimSAS cables in the kit have specific lengths to support optimal routing between the connectors on
the server board and the connectors on backplane. The following table identifies the cable to be used for
each server board to backplane connection.
