CONFIGURING the SERVER
Approved Configurations
(1) 1-CPU Configurations
Select an embedded RAID option from Tab le 5 on page 18 or one PCIe RAID controller from
Tab le 6 on page 18. You may also select an appropriate optional RAID configuration listed in
Tab le 6 on page 18.
(2) 2-CPU Configurations
Select an embedded RAID option from Tab le 5 on page 18, or one PCIe RAID controller from
Tab le 6 on page 18. You may also select an appropriate optional RAID configuration listed in
Tab le 6 on page 18.
Caveats
■ In 1-CPU configurations, there is only one full-height PCIe slot available (located on riser 1).
Slot 2 is not supported in 1-CPU systems.
— If you choose embedded RAID, you can select one optional PCIe card from Table 8
on page 24 to be installed in slot 1.
— If you choose a PCIe RAID controller from Table 5 on page 18, it will be installed in
slot 1 by default and you will not be able to select any optional PCIe card from
Tab le 8 on page 24.
NOTE: In 1-CPU configurations, PCIe slot 1 is the default slot supported for an
internal drive RAID controller. PCIe slot 2 is not supported for 1-CPU systems.
NOTE: If you do not select a PCIe RAID controller or one of the embedded RAID
upgrade options from
Tab le 5 on page 18, you will have an embedded SATA-only
RAID controller that supports up to four SATA-only drives (RAID 0, 1, 10) and slot 1
can be used for a PCIe RAID controller (see
Table 8 on page 24).
NOTE: In 2-CPU configurations, PCIe slot 2 is the default slot supported for an
internal drive RAID controller. PCIe slot 1 can be used for a PCIe expansion card
(including the VIC card). You can change the default card slot for a RAID controller to
slot 1 by going into the BIOS and reconfiguring the option ROM (OPROM) settings.
Keep in mind, however, that if you use slot 1 for a RAID controller, you will not be
able to install a VIC card, which can be installed only in slot 1.
NOTE: If you do not select a PCIe RAID controller, or one of the embedded RAID
upgrade options from
Tab le 5 on page 18, you will have an embedded SATA-only
RAID controller that supports up to four SATA-only drives (RAID 0, 1, 10) and slots 1
and 2 can be used for PCIe cards (see
Tab le 8 on page 24).
