Important

  • The tray only supports fully populated processor and memory configuration (2 processors and 16 DIMMs per node).

  • Mixing DIMM speed is not supported.

  • Before installing 24 Gb DRAM RDIMMs to a system with 4th Gen Intel Xeon processors (codenamed Sapphire Rapids), make sure to update the UEFI firmware to the latest version first, then remove all existing 16 Gb DRAM RDIMMs.

  • ADDDC not supported for 9x4 ECC DIMM (Value)

Storage expansion

  • Supports up to two 7 mm simple-swap NVMe solid-state drives (SSD) per node.

  • Supports up to one 15 mm simple-swap NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) per node.

  • Supports up to two E3.S simple-swap NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) per node.

  • Supports one M.2 drive per node. (Requires the M.2 interposer assembly)

    For a list of supported M.2 drives, see Lenovo ServerProven website.

Attention
As a general consideration, do not mix standard 512-byte and advanced 4-KB format drives in the same RAID array because it might lead to potential performance issues.
