Replacing the Front Mezzanine Module
The front mezzanine module is a drive cage that contains the compute node's storage devices. The front
mezzanine storage module can contain any of the following storage configurations:
• NVMe drives
• SAS/SATA drives
In the front mezzanine slot, the server can use one of the following front storage module options:
• A front mezzanine blank (UCSX-X10C-FMBK) for systems without local disk requirements.
• Compute Pass Through Controller (UCSX-X10C-PT4F): supports up to six hot pluggable 15mm NVMe
drives directly connected to CPU 1. RAID capability which is supported with Intel Virtual RAID on
CPU (VROC).
• MRAID Storage Controller Module (UCSX-X10C-RAIDF):
• Supports a mixed drive configuration of up to six SAS, SATA, and NVMe (maximum of four)
drives.
• Provides HW RAID support for SAS/SATA drives in multiple RAID groups and levels.
• NVMe drives support RAID with Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) in slots 1 to 4 with direct
connections to CPU 1.
• The front mezzanine module also contains the SuperCap module. For information about replacing
the SuperCap module, see
