Backplane Cabling
Each installed NVMe* drive must have PCIe* signals cabled to the appropriate backplane SlimSAS connector
from any of the following PCIe* signal sources:
•
Available server board x4 PCIe* SlimSAS* connectors
•
Optional tri-mode RAID add-in card
•
NVMe* riser card with SlimSAS* connectors
Each installed SAS/SATA drive must have SAS/SATA signals cabled to the appropriate backplane SAS/SATA
connector from any of the following sources:
•
Available server board two 4-port Mini-SAS HD connectors
•
Optional tri-mode RAID add-in card
