•  Each backplane your server supports offers multiple signal connections. This section singles out the 
signal connection from power connection for better understanding. For backplane power connection, see 
“Cable routing for backplane power” on page 165.
•  For the locations of backplane signal connectors on the processor board and adapters, see 
“System- 
board-assembly connectors” on page 21
for details.
•  For more information about backplanes supported and their connectors, see
