1 Power connector on the CFF HBA/RAID adapterInternal RAID connector on the system board
2 Input connector on the CFF HBA/RAID adapter

PCIe 1 (for server model with the 8 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane with both one and two processors installed)

PCIe 3 (for server model with the 6 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA and 4 x 2.5-inch AnyBay backplane with two processors installed)
Note
With one processor installed, the server does not support the 6 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA and 4 x 2.5-inch AnyBay backplane.
