Features
Fujitsu Technology Solutions offers a unique patented solution to deliver the
highest possible bandwidth with four PCIe Gen2 x8 slots: two of the four PCIe
Gen2 x4 slots can each be used as PCIe Gen2 x8 slots if the neighboring slot
is free.
Hard disk drives
The server is shipped with one of the following drive cages:
– For up to six 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives:
Up to six SAS/SATA HDD modules can be used in the drive cage. Each HDD
module can accommodate a SAS/SATA hard disk drive with a maximum
height of 1 inch. The module is connected to the SAS/SATA backplane
wirelessly. This allows HDD modules to be plugged in and pulled out easily.
Optionally, you can also install a hard disk expansion box (Multibay 2, see
also section
"Accessible drives" on page 12
) (with up to two 3.5-inch
SAS/SATA HDD modules). The hard disk drives in this expansion box are
controlled by the 8-Port RAID Controller.
– For up to twelve 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives:
Up to twelve SAS/SATA HDD modules can be used in the drive cage. Each
HDD module can accommodate an SAS/SATA hard disk drive with a 2.5-
inch format. The module is connected to the SAS/SATA backplane
wirelessly. This allows HDD modules to be plugged in or pulled out easily.
Optionally, you can also install a hard disk expansion box (with up to eight
2.5-inch SAS/SATA HDD modules). An additional SAS controller must be
installed in order to control the hard disk drives in this expansion box.
