Component
Specifications
− A server must use DDR4 memory modules of the same
part number (P/N code).
NOTE
The preceding information is for reference only. For details, see
"Search Parts" in the Compatibility Checker.
Storage
Supports a variety of drive configurations. For details, see
5.2.5.1 Drive Configurations .
⚫
Supports two M.2 SSDs.
− M.2 SSDs are supported for RAID configuration when
the server is configured with an Avago SAS3004iMR
RAID controller card.
NOTE
⚫
The M.2 SSD is used only as a boot device for installing the OS.
Small-capacity (32 GB or 64 GB) M.2 SSDs do not support
logging due to poor endurance. If a small-capacity M.2 SSD is
used as the boot device, a dedicated log drive or log server is
required for logging. For example, you can dump VMware logs in
either of the following ways:
⚫
Redirect /scratch. For details, see
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1033696.
⚫
Configure syslog. For details, see
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2003322.
⚫
The M.2 SSD cannot be used to store data due to poor endurance.
In write-intensive applications, the M.2 SSD will wear out in a
short time.
If you want to use SSDs or HDDs as data storage devices, use
enterprise-level SSDs or HDDs with high DWPD.
⚫
The M.2 SSD is not recommended for write-intensive service
software due to poor endurance.
⚫
Do not use M.2 SSDs for cache.
⚫
Supports hot swap of SAS/SATA/NVMe U.2 drives.
NOTE
The NVMe drives support:
⚫
Before using the VMD function, contact technical support
engineers of the OS vendor to check whether the OS supports the
VMD function. If yes, check whether the VMD driver needs to be
manually installed and check the installation method.
⚫
Surprise hot swap if the VMD function is enabled and the latest
Intel VMD driver is installed.
⚫
Orderly hot swap if the VMD function is disabled.
⚫
Supports a variety of RAID controller cards. For details,
see "Search Parts" in the Compatibility Checker.
− The RAID controller card supports RAID configuration,
RAID level migration, and drive roaming.
− The RAID controller card supports a supercapacitor for
power-off protection to ensure user data security.
− The PCIe RAID controller card occupies one PCIe slot.
For details about the RAID controller card, see V6 Server
RAID Controller Card User Guide.
