How to connect 12 Non-Volatile Memory Express (NMVe) Drives in an Intel® Server System M50CYP1UR212

BIOS is unable to recognize the drives in slots 4-7.

To use the 12 NVMe slots in the Intel® Server System M50CYP1UR212 requires:

• 1U PCIe Riser CYPRISER3RTM (Only compatible with the Riser Slot 3)
• SlimSAS Cable (Riser/Retimers to Backplane Kit) CYPCBLSLRTKIT
• Cable kit iPC CYPCBLSL112KIT (This kit connected the backplane and the server board.)

Cable routing:

• The cables that connect the Hot Swap Backplane (HSBP) #1 should be routed along the left of the chassis, and are connected directly to the board ports.
• The cables that connect the HSBP #2 should be routed through the middle of the fan assembly and connected directly to the board ports.
• The cables (CYPCBLSLRTKIT) that connect the HSBP #3 should be route through the right edge side of the chassis to the RIser CYPRISER3RTM to properly connect them.
