RAID 730–8i 1G Cache SAS/SATA adapter is not available for North America.
RAID 530–8i SAS/SATA adapter cannot be mixed with RAID 730–8i 1G Cache SAS/SATA adapter.
RAID 730–8i 2G Flash SAS/SATA adapter cannot be mixed with RAID 730-8i 1G Cache SAS/SATA adapter or RAID 930–8i SAS/SATA adapter.
The RAID 940 adapters can be mixed with the ThinkSystem 440-8i SAS/SATA PCIe Gen4 12Gb HBA and the ThinkSystem 440-16i SAS/SATA PCIe Gen4 12Gb HBA.
Mixing of RAID/HBA 430/530/730/930 adapters (Gen 3) and RAID/HBA 440/540/940 adapters (Gen 4) in the same system is not allowed.
RAID 930/940 series or 9350 series adapters require a RAID flash power module.
RAID 4350/5350/9350 series adapters cannot be mixed with HBA/RAID 430/440/530/540/730/930/940 series SAS/SATA adapters.
For server models that support NVMe drives, the NVMe adapter (also known as the NVMe switch adapter) can be installed only in PCIe slot 2.
For RAID adapters or host bus adapters, you can install them in either PCIe slot 1 or PCIe slot 2.
For server models with one processor, you can install a double-width graphics adapter only in PCIe slot 3. For server models with two processors, you can install up to two double-width graphics adapters in PCIe slot 3 and PCIe slot 5. After any double-width graphics adapter is installed, PCIe slot 4 or PCIe slot 6 becomes unavailable because the space is occupied by the double-width adapter.
Graphics adapters
Your server supports the following GPUs:
Full-height, full-length, double-slot GPUs: NVIDIA P6000
Full-height, full-length, single-slot GPU: NVIDIA P4000, NVIDIA RTX4000.
Full-height, 3/4-length, single-slot GPU: NVIDIA P2000, NVIDIA P2200.

Thermal Design Power (TDP): up to 250 watts
NVIDIA P4000 and NVIDIA RTX4000 are supported only in the new chassis. See Differences between the original chassis and new chassis
Your server supports up to two graphics adapters installed.
Graphics adapter is supported only when the following configuration requirements are met:
Fan 4 is installed.
Two 1100-watt power supplies are installed.
For NVIDIA P6000 graphics adapter, operating temperature is lower than 35°C (95°F) when one P6000 is installed, and operating temperature is lower than 30°C (86°F) when two are installed. For other supported graphics adapters, operating temperature is lower than 35°C (95°F) when one or two graphic adapters are installed.
- Fan redundancy function is supported when:
One NVIDIA P600, P620, P2000, P2200, P4000, or RTX4000 graphics adapter is installed
Two NVIDIA P600 or P620 graphics adapters are installed
Differences between the original chassis and new chassis
Two types of chassis are available for your server, and different chassis type supports different GPU models. You can identify the chassis type of your server by the rear view of your server or the part number label affixed on the bottom of your server.
| Chassis type | Rear view | Part number | Supported GPU model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original chassis |  |
|
|
| New chassis |  |
|
|
The new chassis is the updated version of the original chassis to support NVIDIA form factor V3.0 GPUs, such as NVIDIA P4000 and NVIDIA RTX4000.
The original chassis will phase out and be replaced by the new chassis.
