Each installed NVMe* drive must have PCIe* signals cabled to the appropriate backplane SlimSAS connector
from any of the following PCIe* signal sources:
• Available server board x4 PCIe* SlimSAS* connectors
• Optional tri-mode RAID add-in card
•
NVMe* riser card with SlimSAS* connectors
Each installed SAS/SATA drive must have SAS/SATA signals cabled to the appropriate backplane SAS/SATA
connector from any of the following sources:
• Available server board two 4-port Mini-SAS HD connectors
•
Optional tri-mode RAID add-in card
• SAS/SATA Raid module
Available riser cards, PCIe* SlimSAS cables, and SAS interposer card, along with the accessory kits, are sold
