NOTE: For information on the specifications of the supported PCIe cards, see
Figure 13. Mapping PCIe Expansion Slots

Managing PCIe Slots

You can do the following using the CMC web interface:
• View the status of both individual and all PCIe slots in the chassis.
• Assign PCIe slots to server modules.
For more information on managing the PCIe slots using the CMC web interface, see the
Controller for Dell PowerEdge VRTX User's Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals.

Managing Chassis Storage

The enclosure provides shared storage with single Shared PERC/Expander configurations. The Shared PERC card
supports Single Root Input Output Virtualization (SR-IOV) feature and enables the server modules map to the local
storage through the PCIe switches on the enclosure's system board. A server module can be mapped to either a single
Virtual Disk (VD) or multiple VDs that are located on the shared storage.
For more information on the Shared PERC card, see the
dell.com/storagecontrollermanuals.
You can perform the following tasks related to the enclosure storage:
• View the status of physical disks and storage controllers
• View the properties of controllers, physical disks, virtual disks, and enclosures
• Set up controllers, physical disks, and virtual disks
• Assign virtual adapters
• Troubleshoot controller, physical disks, and virtual disks
• Update storage components
