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
Figure 1. Power cable routing


From | To |
---|---|
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.
Figure 2. SATA cable routing


From | To |
---|---|
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.

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

From | To |
---|---|
1 Signal connector on the 7mm drive backplane | 8i adapter: C0 |
