yellow labels on both ends (with the designation: 7044137), and both ends have mini SAS4I
connectors.
Cable Connections and Routing
The split end of the white cable (7044138) connects to the HBA side. The larger mini-SAS4I
connector connects to the bottom slot on the HBA card, and the smaller (SATA DVD-RW
drive) connector connects to the motherboard at J5105. Route the cables between processor P0
and the PSU sidewall, ensuring that the white cable is on top and the two cables are flat and
not twisted. Continue to route the cables through the divider using the cables clips to ensure the
cables pass to the other side of the divider. At the storage backplane, the white cable connects to
the top connector and the yellow cable connects to the bottom connector.

Server X4-4 Product Notes
PCIe Slot Length and Capabilities
The server contains 11 low-profile PCIe 2.0 card slots, which have the following length and
capabilities:
Slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 have a x8 connector (x8 electrical interface)
■
Slots 8 and 11: x16 connector (x8 or x16 electrical interface)
■
PCIe Card Slot Population Order
The total number of PCIe cards and the slot population order depends on the server CPU
configuration.
A two-CPU configuration has CPUs installed in processor sockets P0 and P1, which gives
■
the server access to PCIe slots 1,2,3,4,5, and 6.
