8 x 2.5'' NVMe drives with two 4 x 2.5'' NVMe backplanes (one processor)
Use this section to understand the cable routing for eight NVMe drives with two 4 x 2.5'' NVMe backplanes and one processor installed.
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 onboard configuration of 8 x 2.5-inch front NVMe drive bays. Connections between connectors: 1 ↔ 1, 2 ↔ 2, 3 ↔ 3, ... n ↔ n.

| Backplane | From backplane | Cable silkscreen | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 x 2.5'' NVMe backplane 1 | 1 NVMe 0–1 | 1 NVMe 0–1 | 1 PCIe 4 |
| 2 Power | 2 Power | 2 Power connector 2_A | |
| 3 NVMe 2–3 | 3 NVMe 2–3 | 3 PCIe 3 | |
| 4 x 2.5'' NVMe backplane 2 | 4 NVMe 0–1 | 4 NVMe 4–5 | 4 PCIe 1 |
| 5 Power | 5 Power | 5 Power connector 3_A | |
| 6 NVMe 2–3 | 6 NVMe 6–7 | 6 PCIe 2 |
