Drive kits required
* In the Storage controller column, RAID or HBA means that any combination of the M1215, M5210, and N2215 storage controllers
is supported up to a maximum quantity listed; the numbers in brackets (x+y+z) specify the number of drives connected to each of
the storage controllers.
# Each PCIe SSD Extender Adapter (PN 00ML997) provides connectivity for up to two PCIe SSDs, and each adapter occupies a
PCIe slot. For factory configured models, two PCIe SSD Extender Adapters (FC AS95) must be included in the configuration. For
field upgrades, the PCIe SSD Upgrade Kit (PN 00FK677) includes two PCIe SSD Extenders.
** Requires a storage configuration with 8x or 16x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap drive bays (one of the first three storage
configurations listed in Table 8). For 16x 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bay configurations, the internal optical drive is not supported.
*** Two drives in the 2x 3.5-inch Rear HDD Kit are connected to the SAS expander on the 12-drive backplane, that is, to the same
storage controller as 12 drives on the front.
