– PCIe slot 6: PCIe x8 (x4, x1), full-height, full-length
• For processor 2
– PCIe slot 4: PCIe x16 (x8, x4, x1), full-height, full-length
– PCIe slot 5: PCIe x16 (x16, x8, x4, x1), full-height, full-length, double-width
The following RAID adapters can be installed in an appropriate PCIe slot.
• A RAID 530-8i SAS/SATA adapter that supports JBOD mode and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50
• A RAID 730-8i SAS/SATA adapter that supports JBOD mode and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50 (only
available in China)
• A RAID 930-8i, 930-16i, or 930-24i SAS/SATA adapter that supports JBOD mode and RAID levels 0, 1, 5,
6, 10, 50, and 60
Notes:
• For server models that support NVMe drives, the NVMe adapter (also known as the NVMe switch adapter)
can be installed only in PCIe slot 2.
• For RAID adapters or host bus adapters, you can install them in either PCIe slot 1 or PCIe slot 2.
• For server models with one processor, you can install a double-width graphics adapter only in PCIe slot 3.
For server models with two processors, you can install up to two double-width graphics adapters in PCIe
slot 3 and PCIe slot 5. After any double-width graphics adapter is installed, PCIe slot 4 or PCIe slot 6
becomes unavailable because the space is occupied by the double-width adapter.
Graphics adapters
• Full-height, half-length, and double-width
• Thermal Design Power (TDP): up to 250 watts
Notes:
• Your server supports up to two graphics adapters installed.
• Graphics adapter is supported only when the following configuration requirements are met:
– Fan 4 is installed.
– Two 1100-watt power supplies are installed.
– Operating temperature is lower than 30°C (86°F).
• Fan redundancy function is supported when only one graphics adapter (with TDP equal to 75 watts) is
installed.
Input/Output (I/O) features
• Front panel:
– One XClarity Controller USB connector
– One USB 3.0 connector
• Rear panel:
– One VGA connector
– One XClarity Controller network connector
– Two Ethernet connectors
– Two USB 3.0 connectors
– Four USB 2.0 connectors
