DIMM slot locations
The DIMM slots are numbered 1 through 6. The arrow in the following illustration points to the front of the
server.
PCIe slot description
16 Component identification

Item Description Definition
1 PCI Express version Each PCIe version corresponds to a specific data
transfer rate between the processor and peripheral
devices. Generally, a version update corresponds to an
increase in transfer rate.
• PCIe 1.x
• PCIe 2.x
• PCIe 3.x
The PCIe technology is under constant development. For
the latest information, see the PCI-SIG website.
2 Physical connector link width PCIe devices communicate through a logical connection
called an interconnect or link. At the physical level, a link
is composed of one or more lanes. The number of lanes
is written with an "×" prefix with ×16 being the largest
size in common use.
•×1
•×2
•×4
•×8
•×16
3 Negotiable link width These numbers correspond to the maximum link
bandwidth supported by the slot.

drive will fail.
Flashing amber The drive is not configured and predicts the drive will fail.
Solid amber The drive has failed.
Off The drive is not configured by a RAID controller or a spare drive.
Drive bay numbering
Drive bay numbering depends on how the drive backplane is connected. In this server, the backplane can be
connected to the:
• Embedded Smart Array controller through the onboard SATA ports
• Smart Array type-p SR Gen10 controllers
When the backplane is connected to a storage controller, the drive bay numbering for each drive box starts at
1.
• LFF drive bay numbering: Smart Array controller

• LFF drive numbering: Smart Array controller
• SFF drive bay numbering: Smart Array controller
