Riser 5 + OCP interposer cards + 8i RAID/HBA adapter
The following shows the cable connections for the front (8 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA + 8 x 2.5-inch NVMe)
configuration with riser 5, front and rear OCP interposer cards, and one rear 8i RAID/HBA adapter.
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.
Connections between connectors:
1 ↔ 1 , 2 ↔ 2 , 3 ↔ 3 , ... n ↔ n
