3.2.6  8x2.5” Hot-swap HDD SAS/SATA Cable Guide for Combo PCIe* SFF (NVMe) SSD / SAS Backplane (iPC FUP8X25S3HSDK) 
The 8x2.5” combo backplane kit is capable of supporting a combination of both SAS devices and up to four PCIe* SFF (Small Form Factor) (NVMe) SSD drives.  
All eight drive connectors are capable of supporting a SAS device, but only four include SFF8639 connectors that can support PCIe* SFF (NVMe) SSDs. 
Mini-SAS cable kits - iPC AXXCBL380HDHD, AXXCBL650HDHD or AXXCBL650HDMS need to be ordered separately.
