* Not supported with the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 product family.
** Supported only in the PCIe slot 2 and requires the FHHL x16 Riser Card 2 (feature code A5AD) and the second processor or the
FHHL x8 Riser Card 2 (feature code A5AE).
Configuration notes:
The Flash Adapters might require the use of the additional system fans (see Cooling for details).
Low profile Flash Adapters are supported in low profile and half-high slots; full-high Flash Adapters are
supported only in the PCIe slot 2 and require the FHHL x8 or x16 Riser Card 2 (feature code A5AE or
A5AD, respectively); FHHL x16 Riser requires the second processor.
The io3 Flash Adapters cannot be factory installed; they are supported as field-installable options only.
The server cannot be shipped with these adapters installed.
