Specifications
⚫
RDIMM and LRDIMM support
⚫
The DDR4 memory modules of different types (RDIMM
and LRDIMM) and specifications (capacity, bit width,
rank, and height) cannot be used together.
NOTE
The preceding information is for reference only. Use the
to obtain specific information.
Storage
Supports a variety of drive configurations. For details, see
5.5.1 Drive Configuration.
⚫
Supports two M.2 SSDs.
NOTE
⚫
The M.2 SSD module is used only as the boot device when the OS
is installed. Small-capacity (32 GB or 64 GB) M.2 SSDs do not
support logging due to poor endurance. If a small-capacity M.2
SSD is used as the boot device, a dedicated log drive or log server
is required for logging. For example, you can dump VMware logs
in either of the following ways:
⚫
Redirect
/scratch
. For details, see
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1033696
⚫
Configure syslog. For details, see
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2003322
⚫
The M.2 SSD cannot be used to store data due to poor endurance.
In write-intensive applications, the M.2 SSD will wear out in a
short time.
Use enterprise-level high endurance (HE) SSDs or HDDs for data
storage.
⚫
The M.2 SSD is not recommended for write-intensive service
software due to poor endurance.
⚫
Do not use the M.2 SSD as the cache.
⚫
Supports hot swap of SAS/SATA/NVMe U.2 drives.
NOTE
The NVMe drives support:
⚫
Surprise hot swap if the VMD function is enabled and the latest
Intel VMD driver is installed.
⚫
Orderly hot swap if the VMD function is disabled.
⚫
Supports a variety of RAID controller cards. Use the
to obtain information about the
specific RAID controller cards supported.
−
The RAID controller card supports RAID configuration,
RAID level migration, and drive roaming.
−
The PCIe RAID controller card occupies one standard
PCIe slot.
For details about the RAID controller card, see
RAID Controller Card User Guide
⚫
Supports the 24-port SAS HBA card to improve storage
performance and data security.
NOTE
If the BIOS is in legacy mode, the 4K drive cannot be used as the boot
