* Available in China only.
** Requires a PCIe x16 riser card.
Configuration notes:
Low profile SAS RAID controllers and HBAs for internal storage are supported in the dedicated PCIe x8
slot 4 on the system board and low-profile and full-high PCIe x8 and x16 slots supplied by the PCIe Riser
Cards 1 and 2.
NVMe Switch Adapters are supported in the low-profile PCIe x16 slots supplied by the PCIe Riser
Cards 1 and 2.
In the configurations without GPU installed, the total quantity of the RAID 930-8i, 16i, and 8e controllers in
the server must not exceed 3 (up to 3 supercapacitors can be mounted in the server).
In the configurations with GPU installed, the total quantity of the RAID 930-8i, 16i, and 8e controllers in
the server must not exceed 1 (the storage controller can be installed only in the PCIe slot 1; the PCIe slots
3 and 4 cannot be used if the GPU adapter is installed).
The onboard NVMe interface provides 4x PCIe 3.0 x4 ports for JBOD (non-RAID) connectivity to U.2 NVMe PCIe
SSDs in the AnyBay drive bays.
For 10x U.2 NVMe configurations, the onboard NVMe interface and two NVMe Switch Adapters provide JBOD
(non-RAID) connectivity with PCIe 3.0 x4 links to each of the U.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs. The NVMe Switch Adapter
has a PCIe 3.0 x16 host interface.
The following table summarizes features of supported SAS/SATA storage controllers.
