7mm drives

This section provides cable routing information for the 7mm drives.

Note

The following uses the 7mm drives installed on riser 2 as an example for illustration. The cable routing for 7mm drives installed on riser 1 is similar.

Power cable routing

1 Power connector on the 7mm backplane	7mm power connector on the system board assembly

Signal cable routing

The 7mm drive backplane supports SATA, NVMe, or RAID cable connection.

1 Signal connector on the 7mm drive backplane	M.2/7mm backplane signal connector on the system board assembly

Figure 3. NVMe cable routing

Note

The following illustration shows four NVMe cable connection options, but the four options are mutually exclusive. Select one of them based on your scenario.

Signal connector on the 7mm drive backplane	1 PCIe 1
	2 PCIe 3 (one processor installed)
	3 PCIe 8
	4 PCIe 10
