5.5 2U 8x2.5" Drive Bay Module Options
2U system configurations that include support for 2.5" front mount storage devices can support up to three 8x2.5" drive bay modules. Intel makes available
different types of 8x2.5" drive bay modules and can support from 1 to 3 of the same module or a mix of different modules. Only the PCIe* SSD (NVMe) compatible
module (iPC – A2U44X25NVMEDK) has the limitation of only supporting one of these modules in combination with other backplane modules in the system.

Figure 16. 2U 2.5" Drive Bay Numbering
Drive numbering in the illustrations above is for general reference only. Actual drive numbering will be dependant on SAS / SATA controller configuration and how
they are cabled to the backplane. Each drive bay will include a single backplane. Each backplane will include a multi-port data connector for each set of four drives.
Ex) for an 8 drive configuration, the backplane will include 2 four port data connectors. In the illustration above, drives showing a common Drive ID label color share
a common data connector on the backside of the given backplane.
