Attention:
To help ensure proper system cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following
requirements are met:
• Install a backplane filler in the bottom backplane bay, if no backplane is installed.
• Install individual drive fillers in all unused drive bays.
Before you install the 4x2.5-inch NVMe PCIe Gen3 solid state drive backplane, consider the following
information:
• The 4x2.5-inch NVMe PCIe Gen3 solid state drive backplane can support up to four 2.5-inch NVMe PCIe
solid state drives.
• You can install one 4x2.5-inch NVMe PCIe Gen3 solid state drive backplane.
• Install the 4x2.5-inch NVMe PCIe Gen3 solid state drive backplane in the top backplane bay only.
• You can install an additional SAS/SATA backplane in the lower backplane bay.
• The drive IDs assigned by IMM2 match the IDs that are indicated on the server front bezel.
• The operating system and uEFI report the hard disk drives attached to the 4x2.5-inch NVMe PCIe Gen3
solid state drive backplane as PCI devices.
The backplane PCIe signal cable is attached to the NVMe PCIe Gen3 solid state drive extender adapter. The
following is an illustration of the connectors on the adapter.
