Each leg of the U.2 enabler cable must connect to adjacent drives; otherwise, the LEDs might not work properly. It does not matter which leg of the cable is
plugged into which connector pair as long as adjacent pairs are used. For more information on NVMe LED functionality, refer to the Broadcom MegaRAID and
HBA Tri-Mode Storage Adapters User Guide.
Make sure the system provides the required airflow for the controller. The following table shows the required airflow and inlet temperature for the
7.
HBA 9400-16i and HBA 9400-8i Tri-Mode storage adapters. The adapter requires appropriate airflow and inlet temperature to avoid operating the Tri-Mode 
I/O controller (SAS3416 or SAS3408) above the maximum junction temperature.
