Note
  • The CFF adapter in the following illustration might look slightly different from your CFF adapter, but the cable connections are the same.

  • The following illustration shows the cable routing when two processors are installed. When only one processor is installed, the only different is cable 5 which should be connected to PCIe 1 or PCIe 2 on the system board.
