About this task

For most server models, your server comes with half-height cable wall brackets at both side of the system board. If you need to upgrade your server to 32 NVMe drives, you need to replace the half-height cable wall brackets with full-height cable wall brackets for cable routing. The full-height cable wall brackets come with the 32 NVMe cable kit.
