NVMe PCIe SSDs are supported on 8x or 16x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap drive bay models only.
With one processor, up to one NVMe PCIe SDD Upgrade Kit is supported, and it requires one of
the Riser 1 card options with PCIe x8 slots:
For the Riser 1 options with 3x PCIe x8 slots (part numbers 00KA519 or 00KA498), the
PCIe SSD extenders are supported in PCIe slots 1 and 2.
For the Riser 1 options with 1x PCIe x8 slot (part number 00KA489), the PCIe SSD
extenders are supported in PCIe slots 3 and 4.
With two processors, up to two NVMe PCIe SDD Upgrade Kits are supported, and they require a
combination of the Riser 1 and Riser 2 card options with PCIe x8 slots:
For the Riser 1 and Riser 2 options with 3x PCIe x8 slots (part numbers 00KA519 [Riser 1]
or 00KA498 [Riser 1 or Riser 2]), the PCIe SSD extenders are supported in PCIe slots 1
and 2 (Riser 1), and 6 and 7 (Riser 2).
For the Riser 1 and Riser 2 options with 1x PCIe x8 slot (part number 00KA489), the PCIe
SSD extenders are supported in PCIe slots 3, 4, 5, and 8.
For 16x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap drive bay configurations, the internal optical drive is not
supported in the configurations with NVMe PCIe SSDs.
If only one NVMe PCIe SSD Upgrade Kit is used in the configurations with two processors, up to
one 2.5-inch Rear HDD Kit is supported. In other configurations with the NVMe PCIe SSD
Upgrade Kits, the 2.5-inch Rear HDD Kit cannot be used.
Controllers for internal storage
The following table lists the storage controllers and additional options used for internal storage of the System
x3650 M5 server. The internal storage controllers are supported in the PCIe slots in the following order: Slot 0
(dedicated slot), Slot 4, Slot 1, and Slot 6 (Slot 6 requires the second processor).
