10 x 2.5''NVMe backplane

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

To connect power cables for a backplane for standard 2.5'' or 3.5'' drives, refer to Backplane power cable routing.

To connect cables for a rear NVMe/SAS/SATA drive backplane, refer to Rear NVMe/SAS/SATA drive backplane.

To connect signal cables, refer to the following cable routing scenario:

Cable routing for onboard configuration

The following illustrations and tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and system 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: 11, 22, 33, ... nn.
