2 x 2.5'' NVMe backplane (two processors)

Use this section to understand the NVMe backplane cable routing for server model with two 2.5'' front drives.

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

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

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

To connect cables for intrusion switch, refer to Intrusion switch.

To connect signal cables for a backplane for standard 4 x 2.5'' front drives, refer to the following cable routing scenarios depending on your server configuration:
