Notes:

• The cable routing illustration is based on the scenario that the rear hot-swap drive cage and middle NVMe

drive assembly are installed. Depending on the model, the rear hot-swap drive cage and middle NVMe
drive assembly might not be available on your server.

• The following two illustrations are for the same one configuration.
