• ThinkSystem Intel E810-DA4 10/25GbE SFP28 4-Port PCIe Ethernet Adapter
Note: Both Broadcom 57504 PCIe Ethernet adapter and Intel E810-DA4 PCIe Ethernet
adapter can be installed to slot 2 or slot 3.
Slot 1 > Slot 3 > Slot 2
• ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-6 HDR100 IB/100GbE VPI 1-port x16 PCIe 3.0 HCA
• ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-6 HDR100 IB/100GbE VPI 2-port x16 PCIe 3.0 HCA

• ThinkSystem NVIDIA A2 16GB PCIe Gen4 Passive GPU w/o CEC
Slot 2 > Slot 3 A COM port upgrade kit needs to be installed in slot 2 or 3 as a normal PCIe adapter. In this
case, a riser and a bracket are needed.
Slot 1 > Slot 2 > Slot 3 Other PCIe adapters not mentioned above.
Notes:
• For Mellanox ConnectX-6 HDR IB/200GbE Single Port x16 PCIe Adapter, refer to the
following slot priority depending on the quantity of adapters to be installed:
– Two adapters: slot 1, slot 3 or slot 2, slot 3
– Three adapters: slot 1, slot 2, slot 3
• The RAID/HBA 4350/5350/9350-8i/16i adapters and the Intel E810-DA2 OCP adapter or
the Intel E810-DA2 PCIe adapter cannot be installed in the same system.
Note: The RAID 940-8i or RAID 940-16i adapter supports Tri-mode. When Tri-mode is enabled, the server
supports SAS, SATA and U.3 NVMe drives at the same time. NVMe drives are connected via a PCIe x1 link to
the controller.
