ThinkSystem 1610-4P NVMe Switch Adapter 7Y37A01081 AUV2 2 1, 5, 6*
* If the NVMe Switch Adapter is installed in the PCIe slot 1, the PCIe x16 riser card (feature code AUR3) is required. Two NVMe Switch
Adapters are supported in the PCIe x16 slots 1 and 5 or 1 and 6 only.
Configuration notes:
Low profile SAS RAID controllers and HBAs for internal storage are supported in the PCIe x8 slots on the
system board and full-high PCIe x8 and x16 slots supplied by the riser card 1. Full-height SAS RAID
controllers for internal storage (RAID 930-24i) are supported in the full-height PCIe x8 and x16 slots supplied
by the riser card 1.
Either RAID 530-8i or RAID 730-8i controllers can be used in a single system, but not both types.
The RAID 730-8i controller does not support the 3.5" Rear HDD Kit.
NVMe Switch Adapter is supported in the full-height PCIe x16 slots supplied by the riser cards 1 and 2.
In the configurations without GPU installed, the total quantity of the RAID 930-8i, 16i, 24i, and 8e controllers
in the server must not exceed 4 (up to 4 supercapacitors can be mounted in the server).
In the configurations with GPU installed, the total quantity of the RAID 930-8i, 16i, 24i, and 8e controllers in
the server must not exceed 3 (up to 3 supercapacitors can be mounted in the server).
The onboard NVMe interface and the NVMe Switch Adapter provide 4x PCIe 3.0 x4 ports each for JBOD (non-
RAID) connectivity to U.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs in the AnyBay drive bays. The NVMe Switch Adapter has a PCIe 3.0
x16 host interface.
