PCIe slots
PCIe connectivity is integrated with the processor, and the number of processors in a system
impacts the number of PCIe slots and the bandwidth of each PCIe slot. The PowerEdge T620 offers
seven PCIe slots. For a T620 system with one processor, slots 1 through 4 are available. For a T620
system with two processors, all slots are available.
PCIe expansion cards
The T620 supports a variety of PCIe expansion cards. Table 17 lists the supported add-in NICs and
HBAs for the T620.
