8 x 2.5''NVMe backplane

Use this section to understand the cable routing of 8 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 signal cables, refer to the following cable routing scenario:

Cable routing with an SFF RAID adapter

The following tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and an SFF HBA/RAID adapter (Gen4).
