#5. NVMe Connectors
Connect NVMe drive cables to these
NVMe ports, designated CN1-CN6, when
configuring the NVMe drives. CN1 is for
drives at NVMe#0-1, CN2 is for drives at
NVMe#2-3, CN3 is for drives at NVMe#4-
5, CN4 is for drives at NVMe#6-7, CN5 is
for drives at NVMe#8-9, and CN6 is for
drives at NVMe#10-11 (see section 2-4 for
NVMe drive locations). SlimSAS cables
should be used to connect these ports to
the corresponding ports on motherboard
X11DPU-V-P.
#6. Motherboard to Backplane Connector
This 20-pin connector, designated JF1, con-
nects the motherboard to the backplane on
the chassis using a flat ribbon cable.
