* RAID or HBA indicates that any combination of the M1215, M5210, and N2215 storage controllers is supported up to a maximum
quantity listed; the numbers in brackets (x+y+z) specify the quantity of drives connected to each of the controllers.
# Each PCIe SSD Extender Adapter (PN 00ML997) provides connectivity for up to two PCIe SSDs, and each adapter occupies a
PCIe slot. For factory configured models, two or four PCIe SSD Extender Adapters (FC AS95) must be included in the configuration.
For field upgrades, the PCIe SSD Upgrade Kit (PN 00FK677) includes two PCIe SSD Extenders.
** Requires the selection of 8x or 16x 2.5-in. hot-swap drive bays (with 16x 2.5-in. drive bays, the internal optical drive cannot be
used).
## Requires the selection of 8x 2.5-in. hot-swap drive bays.
*** Two drives in the 2x 3.5-inch Rear HDD Kit are connected to the SAS expander on the 12-drive backplane, that is, to the same
storage controller as 12 drives on the front.
Configuration notes:
24x 2.5-inch front drives are supported on storage dense models only (models without the Standard
[feature code ATE5] or Advanced [feature code ATE6] OP Panel).
2x 2.5-inch rear drives (1x Rear 2x 2.5" HDD Kit) are supported on 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive bay
models.
The Rear 2.5" HDD Kit is installed in place of the PCIe Riser Card 1, and PCIe slots 1, 2 and 3 are
not present. The kit includes special riser that provides PCIe 3.0 x8 slot for the M1215 RAID
controller that is dedicated to 2x 2.5-inch rear drives.
4x 2.5-inch rear drives (2x Rear 2x 2.5" HDD Kits) are supported on 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bay models
only.
The first Rear 2.5" HDD Kit is installed in place of the PCIe Riser Card 1, and PCIe slots 1, 2 and
3 are not present.
The second Rear 2.5" HDD Kit is installed in place of the PCIe Riser Card 2, and PCIe slots 6, 7
and 8 are not present.
Each kit includes special riser that provides PCIe 3.0 x8 slot for the M1215 RAID controller that is
dedicated to 2x 2.5-inch rear drives.
2x 3.5-inch rear drives are supported on 3.5-inch hot-swap drive bay models only.
With 8x 3.5-inch HS drive bay models, the 2x 3.5-inch Rear HDD Kit is connected to a dedicated
M1215 controller (Independent RAID).
With 12x 3.5-inch HS drive bay models, the 2x 3.5-inch Rear HDD Kit can be connected to a
dedicated M1215 controller (Independent RAID) or SAS expander on the 12-drive backplane
(Cascaded).
The Rear 3.5" HDD Kit is installed in place of PCIe Riser Card 2; PCIe slots 6, 7, and 8 are not
present.
For 8x 3.5-inch and 12x 3.5-inch drive bay models, either 1x Rear 2x 3.5" HDD Kit (Independent RAID)
or 1x Rear 2x 2.5" HDD Kit (Independent RAID) can be used in the configuration, but not both.
For 12x 3.5-inch drive bay models, either 1x Rear 2x 3.5" HDD Kit (Independent RAID) or 1x Rear 2x
3.5" HDD Kit (Cascaded) can be used in the configuration, but not both. If the Cascaded Kit is used, 1x
Rear 2x 2.5" HDD Kit (Independent RAID) also can be used in the configuration.
