NOTE:
• To install 4 SFF SAS/SATA drives, a 4SFF SAS/SATA drive backplane is required. To install 4
SFF NVMe drives, a 4SFF NVMe drive backplane is required.
• "/" indicates no drives are required but drive blanks must be installed.
• "N/A" indicates that the compute module is not required but a compute module blank must be
installed.

PCIe modules
Typically, the PCIe modules are available in the following standard form factors:
• LP—Low profile.
• FHHL—Full height and half length.
• FHFL—Full height and full length.
• HHHL—Half height and half length.
• HHFL—Half height and full length.
Some PCIe modules require PCIe I/O resources. Make sure the number of such installed PCIe
modules does not exceed eleven.
