Rear components overview​

DC-SCM​

DC-SCM, short for Datacenter Secure Control Module, it moves common server management, security, and control features from a typical system board architecture onto a smaller common form factor module. This module contains all the firmware states previously housed on a typical system board. This provides benefits to both the user and developer.

Ethernet connectors​

Figure 2. OCP module (two connectors)

The OCP module provides two Ethernet connectors for network connections.

By default, any Ethernet connector on the OCP module can also function as a management connector using the shared management capacity.

Hot-swap drives and drive bays​

The drive bays on the front and rear of your server are designed for hot-swap drives. When you install drives, follow the order of the drive bay numbers.

The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive bays occupied.

PCIe slots​

The PCIe slots are on the rear of the server and your server supports up to three PCIe slots on riser 1 and 2 assemblies.

Power supply units​

The hot-swap redundant power supply helps you avoid significant interruption to the operation of the system when a power supply fails.
