4. 16 drive bays, where 4 are AnyBay
In 16-drive configurations where four of the bays are AnyBay drive bays, you can elect to have either one
16-port adapter or two 8-port adapters for SAS/SATA connectivity. In addition, the NVMe connectivity
depends on whether you have two or four processors installed: for two-processor systems, an NVMe
Switch Adapter is required; for four-processor systems, the onboard NVMe ports can be used. The
configurations are shown in the following figure.
