Lenovo ThinkSystem SR665 - 16 X 2.5-Inch Front Drive Bays (8 SAS;SATA +8 Nvme)

16 x 2.5-inch front drive bays (8SAS/SATA+8NVMe)
This section provides cable routing information for the server model with 16 x 2.5-inch front drive bays
(8SAS/SATA+8NVMe).
The server model is configured with one 8 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane (BP 1) and one 8 x 2.5-inch
AnyBay backplane (BP 2). Below lists all supported configurations with these two front drive backplanes.
Note: The AnyBay backplane (BP 2) is used as pure NVMe backplane.
