DVD-ROM (46M0901). This drive also supports the following media and speeds for writing:
CD-R 24X
CD-RW 24X
DVD-R (4.7 GB) 8X
DVD-R (dual layer, 8.5 GB) 6X
DVD+R (4.7 GB) 8X
DVD+R (dual layer, 8.5 GB) 6X
DVD-RW (4.7 GB) 6X
DVD+RW (4.7 GB) 8X
DVD-RAM (4.7 GB) 5X
I/O expansion options
The server supports up to five PCIe slots with different riser cards installed into two riser sockets on the
system planar (one riser socket supports the installation of one riser card). There are two types of riser
cards: 2U risers and 1U risers. 2U risers are used in x3630 M4 models that do not have the rear HDD
cage assembly (see Figure 4). 1U risers are used in models with the rear HDD cage assembly installed
(see Figure 5). See Figure 4 and Figure 5 for slot locations and numbering.
Note:
You cannot use 1U risers in models without the rear HDD cage. You cannot use 2U risers in models
with the rear HDD cage assembly installed.
The slot form factors with 2U risers (models without the rear HDD cage assembly) are as follows:
Slot 1: PCIe 3.0 x16 (x8-wired), optional PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16-wired); full-height, full-length
Slot 2: PCIe 3.0 x16 (x8-wired); full-height, half-length (not present if optional x16-wired slot 1 riser is
used)
Slot 3: PCIe 3.0 x16 (x8-wired), optional PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16-wired); low-profile, half-length (the second
processor is required to use this slot)
Slot 4: PCIe 3.0 x16 (x8-wired); low-profile, half-length (not present if optional x16-wired slot 3 riser is
used, the second processor is required to use this slot)
Slot 5: PCIe 3.0 x8 (x4-wired); dedicated slot for ServeRAID adapter; standard on hardware RAID
models, optional on software RAID models
Note:
Standard models with software RAID (ServeRAID C105) ship with one 2U riser supplying slots 1
and 2 (slots 3, 4, and 5 are not present). Standard models with hardware RAID adapters (ServeRAID
M1115 or M5110) ship with two 2U risers supplying all five slots. See Table 13 for details.
The slot form factors with 1U risers (models with the rear HDD cage assembly) are as follows:
Slot 1: PCIe 3.0 x8 (x8-wired), optional PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16-wired); full-height, half-length
Slot 2: PCIe 3.0 x8 (x8-wired); low-profile, half-length (not present if an optional x16-wired slot 1 riser
is used)
Slot 3: PCIe 3.0 x8 (x4-wired), optional PCIe 3.0 x8 (x8-wired); dedicated slot for ServeRAID adapter
(x8-wired slot requires the second processor, x4-wired slot does not require the second processor)
Note:
The 3.5" Hot Swap Cage Assembly, Rear, 2 x 3.5" option, part number 00Y7548, ships with two 1U
risers supplying x8-wired slots 1 and 2 and x4-wired slot 3. See Table 14 for details.
