11 PCIe Gen 3 Slots
The server contains 11 PCIe Gen 3 slots, of which nine are x8 slots and two are x16 slots. All
11 slots are available in a four-CPU configured server. Only the first six slots (1-6) are available
in a two-CPU configured server. Slot 2 is reserved for the HBA to drive the six storage drive
slots. For slot designation information, see “PCIe Slot Designations” on page 72 .
For information about the processor subsystem, see “Processor Subsystem” on page 23 .
Six 2.5-inch Drive Bays
The six 2.5-inch storage drive bays are located at the front of the server. The supported drive
interfaces for each bay depend on the type of host bus adapter (HBA) installed in the server.
When configured with any 2.5-inch SAS drives, the system must have one PCI Express (PCIe)
Gen-2 internal HBA card installed in slot 2 to support the front 2.5-inch drive bays. Each PCIe
Gen-2 HBA has 8 SAS2/SATA2 internal ports accessible through two SAS4I connectors (Port
0-3 and Port 4-7). Since the drive cage has only six bays, Port 6-7 of an internal HBA are not
used.
Supported SAS2 slot 2 HBA cards:
■
Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Internal HBA (SGX-SAS6-R-INT-Z)
■
Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe Internal HBA (SGX-SAS6-INT-Z)
For slot designations, see “DVD, Storage Drive, and USB Designations” on page 73 .
SATA DVD +/-RW Drive
An optional DVD-RW SATA-Gen2 drive. The DVD drive is located at the front of the server
below the drive bays.
For DVD designation, see “DVD, Storage Drive, and USB Designations” on page 73 .
Two Internal and Four External High-Speed USB Ports
The two internal USB ports are located on the motherboard between the disk drive backplane
and the PSU backplane boards. The ports can take a standard USB flash device, which can be
