PCIe Card and DPCC Reference

This section contains reference information for PCIe cards and DPCCs, including DPCC
population rules.
Server PCIe Card Capabilities
The server contains nine low-profile PCIe slots, eight Gen 3 DPCC slots accessible at the
rear of the server and one Gen 2 slot, which is located internally (and not directly accessible)
on the system module (SMOD). This internal slot is used for server HBA and provides SAS
connectivity to the server storage drives.
Dual PCIe Card Carriers (DPCCs)
The server contains eight hot-service PCIe Gen 3 DPCCs. Each DPCC has two low-profile
PCIe Gen 3 slots, an 8-lane slot and a 16-lane slot. Each DPCC can contain up to two PCIe
cards.
