Three 8 x NVMe backplanes
This section provides cable routing information for the server model with three 8 x 2.5-inch NVMe front 
backplanes.
To connect power cables for the front backplane(s), refer to “Backplanes: server models with 2.5-inch front 
drive bays” on page 312
.
To connect signal cables for the front backplane(s), refer to the following cable routing scenarios depending 
on your server configuration.
