Onboard connectors + CFF 16i RAID/HBA adapter

This topic provides cable routing information for the 8 SAS/SATA + 8 NVMe (Gen 5) configuration with one internal CFF 16i RAID/HBA adapter.

Connections between connectors: 1 ↔ 1, 2 ↔ 2, 3 ↔ 3, ... n ↔ n

SAS/SATA cable routing​

From	To
1 CFF adapter: PWR	Onboard: CFF RAID/HBA PWR
2 Backplane 1: SAS	CFF adapter C0 C1
3 CFF adapter: MB (CFF input)	Onboard: PCIe 4
