Table 7.  Components on the front view of the 8-DW GPU Model
1  EDSFF drive cage cover 5  PCIe slot 3-10
2  Front panel
6  Front I/O module or PCIe Slot 1-2 
One of the following is supported:
•  Front I/O module
•  PCIe Slot 1 and slot 2 (Not available when rear PCIe 
riser 1 and rear PCIe riser 2 are installed.)
3  Drive activity LED (green) 7  ESDFF drive bays (bay 0 to 5)
4  Drive status LED (yellow)
1  EDSFF drive cage cover
The 8-DW GPU Model servers should always operate with the EDSFF drive cage cover installed to the 
chassis.
2  Front panel
For more information about the front panel, see “Front panel” on page 25.
3  Drive activity LED (green)
Each hot-swap drive comes with an activity LED. When this LED is flashing, it indicates that the drive is in 
use.
4  Drive status LED (yellow)
The drive status LED indicates the following status: 
•  The LED is lit: the drive has failed.
•  The LED is flashing slowly (once per second): the drive is being rebuilt.
•  The LED is flashing rapidly (three times per second): the drive is being identified.
5  PCIe slot 3-10
Install PCIe adapters, particularly GPUs to these slots. These PCIe slots support one of the following 
configurations: 
•  PCIe slot 3-10, PCIe x16, double-wide, FH/FL
•  PCIe slot 3-10, PCIe x16, single-wide, FH/FL
