12 x 2.5'' NVMe

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

Cable routing for onboard configuration​

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

The following figure illustrates the cable routing for the onboard configuration of 12 x 2.5-inch front NVMe drive bays. Connections between connectors: 1 ↔ 1, 2 ↔ 2, 3 ↔ 3, ... n ↔ n
