Configuration notes:
24x 2.5-inch front drives are supported only on storage dense models that use the 24x 2.5" chassis (feature
code AUVV).
The 2.5" SATA/SAS 8-Bay Backplane Kit (7XH7A06254) adds 8x 2.5" SAS/SATA hot-swap drive bays to the
previously configured models that support drive bay expansion capabilities.
The 2.5" AnyBay 8-Bay Backplane Kit (7XH7A06251) adds 4x 2.5" SAS/SATA & 4x 2.5" AnyBay hot-swap
drive bays to the previously configured models that support drive bay expansion capabilities.
Up to 3x 2.5" AnyBay 8-Bay Backplane Kits are supported in the server with the processors of up to 165 W
TDP. Up to 2x 2.5" AnyBay 8-Bay Backplane Kits are supported in the server with the processors of more
than 165 W TDP. If 3x 2.5" AnyBay 8-Bay Backplane Kits are installed in the server, the Rear HDD kit
cannot be installed.
Models without any drive bays that are based on the 24x 2.5" chassis (feature code AUVV) support adding
drive bays by using the 2.5" SAS/SATA 8-bay backplane kit (7XH7A06254) and 2.5" AnyBay 8-bay
backplane kit (7XH7A06251).
Models without any drive bays that are based on the 12x 3.5" chassis (feature code AUVW) include the Right
EIA Latch with FIO (USB ports, status LEDs, and a power button). These models support adding drive bays
by using the 3.5" 8-bay backplane kit (4XH7A08770), 3.5" 12-bay backplane kit (4XH7A08771), or 3.5"
AnyBay 12-bay backplane kit (4XH7A08785).
The backplane upgrade kits include drive backplanes and required SAS cables, power cables, and drive
bay fillers; storage controllers are not included.
The 3.5" Rear HDD Kit is connected to a separate port on the internal storage controller.
The 3.5" Rear HDD Kit is installed in place of the PCIe Riser Card 1; PCIe slots 1, 2, and 3 are not present.
U.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs are supported in the AnyBay drive bays and require the second processor to be
installed.
Models with 12x 3.5-inch drive bays (8x SAS/SATA + 4x AnyBay) and an 8-port SAS RAID controller or HBA
support only NVMe drives in the AnyBay drive bays.
The M.2 Enablement Kit (7Y37A01092) supports up to one M.2 SATA SSD which is connected to the SATA
port on the Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH).
The M.2 with Mirroring Enablement Kit (7Y37A01093) is connected to the Intel PCH via the PCIe link, and
the kit supports up to two M.2 SATA SSDs that can be configured in a RAID-1 or RAID-0 drive group, or they
can operate as separate drives.
