Configuration notes:
Up to one adapter for external storage is supported in the server; that is, you can select only one of
the adapters that are shown in the preceding table, if needed.
If the RAID 500 or RAID 700 PCIe adapters are used in the server, the 8885e HBA cannot be used.
The following table summarizes features of supported SAS storage controllers.

* In addition to eight external ports, the ThinkServer 8885e adapter has eight internal ports for internal storage connectivity (For
details, refer to the Controllers for internal storage section).
** The CacheCade Pro 2.0 feature is not supported by the 9286CV-8e RAID controller when it is installed in the TS440 server.
GPU adapters
The TS440 server supports the GPU adapter options that are listed in the following table.
Note: A GPU adapter must be configured for server models that use processors without integrated graphics;
a GPU adapter is optional for server models that use processors with integrated graphics.
