Internal dual SD module (optional)
The Internal Dual SD module (IDSDM) provides you with a redundant SD card solution. You can configure
the IDSDM for storage or as the OS boot partition. In modular servers, you can choose either a redundant
SD module mode or share one slot with the iDRAC module and the remaining slot can be used for
storage or as the OS partition.
The Internal Dual SD Module (IDSDM) card provides two SD card slots and a USB interface dedicated for
the embedded hypervisor. This card offers the following features:
• Dual card operation—maintains a mirrored configuration by using SD cards in both slots and provides
redundancy.
• Single card operation—single card operation is supported, but without redundancy.
