10 x 2.5'' NVMe

Use this section to understand the cable routing of 10 NVMe front drives.

To connect power cables for a backplane for standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives, refer to Cable routing for backplane power.

To connect cables for M.2 drives, refer to M.2 drive backplane.

Cable routing for onboard configuration​

The following illustrations and tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and processor board connectors for onboard configuration.

The following figure illustrates the cable routing for the configuration of 10 front SAS/SATA drives bays. Connections between connectors: 1 ↔ 1, 2 ↔ 2, 3 ↔ 3, ... n ↔ n.
