8 x 2.5'' NVMe drives with two 4 x 2.5'' NVMe backplanes (liquid cooling)
Use this section to understand the cable routing of eight NVMe front drives for liquid cooling (NeptAir module) configuration with two 4 x 2.5'' NVMe backplanes installed.
Cable routing for onboard configuration
The following table shows 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
