Unable to find the cabling guide and instructions to install 2.5” SAS/PCIe* SSD.

Install the NVMe* add-in card to any PCIe* x16 slot on the server board.
Connect the NVMe* cables to the NVMe* add-in card and the 8x2.5” SAS/PCIe* SSD (NVMe) Combo backplane. The cables are included in the accessory kit.
Connect the I²C cable from the server board HSBP_I²C header to the backplane I²C_IN (SMBus-in) header.
