   Note

   Make sure to match the drive backplane and NVMe switch card connectors as following:

   Table 1. Drive backplane and NVMe switch card connectors

   AnyBay/NVMe drive backplane connector	Switch card connector
   0-1	C0
   2-3	C1
   4-5	C0
   6-7	C1

3. Install the two adapters into corresponding slots on the x16/x16 PCIe riser card (see Install an adapter in the PCIe riser assembly).
