Server model: four 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drives, four 2.5-inch SAS/SATA/NVMe drives, the rear hot-swap 
drive assembly, one 24i RAID adapter
Note: The cable routing illustration is based on the scenario that the rear hot-swap drive assembly is 
installed. Depending on the model, the rear hot-swap drive assembly and the cable 
4  might not be available 
on your server.
