With PCIe switch card
With one PCIe switch card installed, there is one more option for NVMe cable connection. Follow the instructions in this section to learn how do cable routing for combinations with two AnyBay backplanes and a PCIe switch card.
Note
- See Connecting cables to the processor and memory expansion tray to perform the procedure properly while connecting PCIe cables to the processor and memory expansion tray.
- See Connecting cables to the NVMe switch cards to perform the procedure properly while connecting PCIe cables to the PCIe switch cards.
