Notes:
⢠To avoid throttling, make sure to adopt passive Direct Attach cables when network adapters with 100GbE or higher
speed are installed.
⢠Two-processor configuration is supported up to 30°C.
⢠If PCIe adapter with up to 2 ports is installed, the configuration only supports OCP module with up to 4 ports.
⢠If PCIe adapter with up to 4 ports is installed, the configuration only supports OCP module with up to 2 ports.
When E3.S PM1743 15.36TB drive is installed, the ambient temperature must be limited to 30°C or lower.
⢠Keep the ambient temperature to 35°C or lower with the following system configuration:
