8i RAID/HBA adapter + Three retimer cards
The following shows the cable connection for the front (8 x 2.5-inch AnyBay + 16 x 2.5-inch NVMe) configuration with one 8i RAID/HBA adapter and three retimer cards.
To connect the processor interconnection cable when two processors are installed, see Processor interconnection cable routing.
Connections between connectors: 1 ↔ 1, 2 ↔ 2, 3 ↔ 3, ... n ↔ n
