PCIe mezzanine cards
The server module supports two x8 PCIe Gen 2 mezzanine cards. No other mezzanine cards, such as Ethernet, Fibre Channel, or
InfiniBand are supported on server modules configured for the PowerEdge VRTX enclosure.
The PCIe mezzanine cards provide an interface between server modules and the PCIe switches in the enclosure.
NOTE:
You cannot operate the system with a single PCIe mezzanine card. Two PCIe mezzanine cards are required per
server module to support the PCIe expansion cards and PERC card-based shared storage on the enclosure.
NOTE:
For proper operation, make sure that both PCIe mezzanine cards are set to Enabled in the System Setup.
