Expansion slots
Four PCIe expansion slots are available:
• Slot 1: PCIe Gen4 x4 lane in x4 slot (open-end), TDP 25W, FH/HL
• Slot 2: PCIe Gen5 x16 lane in x16 slot, TDP 75W, FH/HL
• Slot 3: PCIe Gen4 x4 lane in x4 slot (open-end), TDP 25W, FH/HL
• Slot 4: PCIe Gen4 x4 lane in x8 slot, TDP 25W, FH/HL
Notes:
1. PCIe slot 2 supports one GPU adapter when no other adapter is installed in PCIe slot 3.
2. Broadcom 57414 10/25GbE SFP28 2-port PCIe Ethernet Adapter and Broadcom 57416 10GBASE-T 2-Port PCIe
Ethernet Adapter can only be installed in slot 1 or slot 4.
3. PCIe slot 4 supports one M.2 boot adapter.
4. When a ThinkSystem Intel E810-DA2 Ethernet Adapter is installed, the following adapters are not supported:
• Other ThinkSystem Intel Ethernet Adapters
• ThinkSystem RAID 9350-16i 4GB Flash PCIe 12Gb Adapter
• ThinkSystem RAID 9350-8i 2GB Flash PCIe 12Gb Adapter
• ThinkSystem RAID 5350-8i PCIe 12Gb Adapter
• ThinkSystem 4350-8i SAS/SATA 12Gb HBA
5. Slot 1 and Slot 3 in the ST250 V3 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.
