Optional Component Installation
Standard system components are installed at the factory. Optional components that you
purchased independent of the standard configuration are shipped separately, and in most cases
should be installed before you install the server in a rack.
The following optional components can be ordered separately:
■
DIMM memory kits:
■
For Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S, you have the option of ordering memory
expansion to 384 GB. Memory kits come in sets of 8 x 32 GB DIMMs.
■
For Oracle Database Appliance X6-2M/X6-2L, you have the option of ordering memory
expansion to 512 GB or 768 GB. Memory kits come in sets of 8 x 32 GB DIMMs.
■
For Oracle Database Appliance X5-2 and Oracle Database Appliance X6-2-HA, you
have the option of ordering memory expansion to 512 GB or 768 GB. Memory kits
come in sets of 8 x 32 GB DIMMs, which means you need two kits (one for each server
node) for 512 GB, and four kits (two for each server node) for 768 GB. Both server
nodes must have the same amount of memory. Thus, the total memory for the appliance
is either 1024 GB or 1536 GB, depending on the expanded configuration.
Refer to the Service Manual for instructions on installing memory.
■
Storage drives:
■
For Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S/X6-2M with the default configuration of two
NVMe drives, you have the option of ordering two additional 2.5-inch 3.2 TB NVMe
SSDs for slots NVMe 2-3. Drives must be installed in pairs.
