Install the NVMe Cables
This is a cold-service procedure that must be performed by qualified service personnel. The server must be completely powered down before performing this procedure.
-
Guide the NVMe card cables along the side of the chassis.
-
Connect the cables to the drive backplane (1).
- Connect the cable labeled "A" to the connector on the drive backplane labeled "NMVe A".
- Connect the cable labeled "B" to the connector on the drive backplane labeled "NMVe B".
-
Connect the NVMe card cables to the motherboard (2).
-
Connect the cable labeled "2,3" to the connector on the motherboard
labeled "2,3".
This is the connector closer to the front of the server.
-
Connect the cable labeled "0,1" to the connector on the motherboard

Install the server mid-wall (3).
- Position the mid-wall over the front of the motherboard so that it engages the mushroom-shaped standoffs that are located on the server chassis sidewall.
- Ensure that SAS cables are not pinched by the mid-wall and that they run beside the mid-wall and not under it.
- Tighten the four green captive screws to secure the mid-wall to the server chassis, use No. 2 Phillips screwdriver.
