Specification
Description
M.2 drive
Supports up to two SATA M.2 drives of the following drive form factors: 
•  42 mm (2242)
•  60 mm (2260)
•  80 mm (2280)
•  110 mm (22110)
Supports the following M.2 drive capacity: 
•  128 GB
•  240 GB
•  480 GB (supported only when the ambient temperature is below 30°C)
Expansion slots
Four PCIe expansion slots are available: 
•  Slot 1: PCIe Gen3 x4 lane in x4 slot, FH/HL
•  Slot 2: PCIe Gen4 x16 lane in x16 slot, FH/HL
•  Slot 3: PCIe Gen3 x4 lane in x4 slot, FH/HL
•  Slot 4: PCIe Gen3 x4 lane in x8 slot, FH/HL
Notes: 
1.  PCIe slot 4 supports an M.2 module.
2.  Slot 1 and Slot 3 in the ST250 V2 are open-end design, which means that the slots 
can accept adapters with a longer edge connector than the physical length of the 
slot connector. For example, if a x8 adapter is installed in the x4 slot 3 of the server, 
half of the edge connector will not be connected to the slot. The adapter will still 
function, however performance will be impacted.
