ackplane 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 onboard x4 PCIe* SlimSAS connectors on the server board
•
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 SAS/SATA signal sources:
•
Available onboard two 4-port Mini-SAS HD connectors on the server board
•
Optional tri-mode RAID add-in card
•
SAS/SATA Raid module
Available riser cards, PCIe* SlimSAS cables, and SAS interposer card along with the accessory kits are sold
separately from the system. See the
Intel® Server M50CYP Family Configuration Guide
to determine the
appropriate cables necessary to match the desired NVMe* and SAS/SATA drive configuration to a specified
PCIe* source. Cables identified in the configuration guide are optimized to provide the cleanest cable routing.
All cables should be routed using the cable channels as shown in the following illustration. See the cable
routing procedure below.
