Onboard connectors + Riser 5 + OCP interposer cards
The following shows the cable connections for the 8 x 2.5-inch NVMe configuration with onboard 
connectors, riser 5, and front and rear OCP interposer cards.
To connect riser 5 cables, see 
“Riser 5 cage” on page 309.
To connect cables to the front and rear OCP interposer cards, see 
“OCP interposer cards” on page 297.
