12 x 2.5'' NVMe (Gen 5)

See this section to understand the cable routing of 12 front NVMe drives with 10 x 2.5'' backplane (Gen 5) installed.

To connect cables for a 7mm drive backplane, refer to 7mm drive backplane.

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

Cable routing for onboard configuration​

The following table shows the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and system board connectors for onboard configuration.
