2 GPU power cable Power connector on the riser 2
3 GPU power cable GPU power connector on the
system board assembly
Notes:
• The illustration shows one GPU adapter installed on
each riser card. If there are two GPU adapters
installed, the GPU power cable is a Y cable.
• If your GPU adapter TDP is equal to or lower than 75
watts, the adapter can be powered directly by the riser
slot. Power cable connection is no needed.
If you need to install an M.2 backplane on the GPU air baffle, refer to below illustration for cable routing on
the air baffle. Route the GPU power cable from riser 2 beneath the M.2 backplane holder to the GPU power
connector on the GPU adapter.
M.2 drive backplanes
Use the section to understand the cable routing for the M.2 drive backplanes.
