Expansion slots
Expansion slots
Nine PCIe expansion slots are available:
• Slot 1: PCIe Gen 5 x16, 75W, FH/FL
• Slot 2: PCIe Gen 5 x8 (open end), 75W, FH/FL
• Slot 3: PCIe Gen 5 x16, 75W, FH/FL
• Slot 4: PCIe Gen 5 x8 (open end), 75W, FH/FL
• Slot 5: PCIe Gen 5 x16, 75W, FH/FL
• Slot 6: PCIe Gen 4 x8 (open end), 75W, FH/FL
• Slot 7: PCIe Gen 4 x16, 75W, FH/FL
• Slot 8: PCIe Gen 4 x8 (open end), 75W, FH/FL
• Slot 9: PCIe Gen 4 x8 (open end), 75W, FH/HL
Notes:
• Slots 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9 in ThinkSystem ST650 V3 are open-end design, which means that these slots can accept
adapters with a longer edge connector than the physical length of the slot connector. For example, if a x16 adapter
is installed in the x8 slot 2 of the server, half of the edge connector will not be connected to the slot. The adapter will
still function, but the performance will be impacted.
• See “Install a HL PCIe adapter” in the User Guide or Hardware Maintenance Guide for detailed information about
the technical rules of PCIe slots.
