Notes: The cable routing illustration is based on the scenario that the rear hot-swap drive cage and middle
NVMe drive assembly are installed. Depending on the model, the rear hot-swap drive cage and middle NVMe
drive assembly might not be available on your server. For the following configurations without the rear hot-
swap drive cage or middle NVMe drive assembly, you can also refer to the illustration and table for the cable
routing.
• Ten 2.5-inch NVMe drives: Connect Cable
1 and Cable 2
• Ten 2.5-inch NVMe drives and rear NVMe drive assembly: Connect Cable 1 , Cable 2 , and Cable 5
• Ten 2.5-inch NVMe drives and middle NVMe drive assembly: Connect Cable 1 , Cable 2 , Cable 3 , and
