Three-NVMe-backplane combinations
Follow the instructions in this section to learn how do cable routing for combinations with three NVMe backplanes.
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.
