Figure 2 9400-8i8e Tri-Mode HBA Connecting by U.2 Enabler Cable to Backplane Connectors
Each leg of the U.2 enabler cable must connect to adjacent drives; otherwise, the LEDs might not work properly. It does not matter which leg of the cable is
plugged into which connector pair as long as adjacent pairs are used. For more information on NVMe LED functionality, refer to the
Broadcom MegaRAID and
HBA Tri-Mode Storage Adapters User Guide.
NOTE: NVMe (PCIe) connections are only supported using the internal ports.

temperature to avoid operating the board components above their maximum rated junction temperatures.
