Hardware configuration examples
The 2U chassis and 3U chassis support the following iDataPlex dx360 M3
configurations:
v 2U compute server: a 2U chassis that contains two dx360 M3 system-board trays
v 2U input/output server: a 2U chassis that contains one dx360 M3 system-board
v 2U storage server: a 2U chassis that contains one dx360 M3 system-board tray
v 3U storage server: a 3U chassis that contains one dx360 M3 system-board tray
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
2U compute server
The 2U compute server consists of two identical dx360 M3 system-board trays that
are installed in a 2U chassis. Each system-board tray has one PCI adapter
connector and one 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay that might be configured to hold two
2.5-inch hard disk drives or solid-state drives. The following illustration shows an
installed 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA hard disk drive.
