9x4 RDIMMs (also known as Optimized or EC4 RDIMMs) are a new lower-cost DDR5 memory option supported in ThinkSystem V3 servers. 9x4 DIMMs offer the same performance as standard RDIMMs (known as 10x4 or EC8 modules), however they support lower fault-tolerance characteristics. Standard RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs support two 40-bit subchannels (that is, a total of 80 bits), whereas 9x4 RDIMMs support two 36-bit subchannels (a total of 72 bits). The extra bits in the subchannels allow standard RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs to support Single Device Data Correction (SDDC), however 9x4 RDIMMs do not support SDDC. Note, however, that all DDR5 DIMMs, including 9x4 RDIMMs, support Bounded Fault correction, which enables the server to correct most common types of DRAM failures.
For more information on DDR5 memory, see the Lenovo Press paper, Introduction to DDR5 Memory, available from https://lenovopress.com/lp1618.
The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:
- The SR665 V3 supports quantities 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 DIMMs per processor; other quantities not supported
- The server supports four types of DIMMs: 9x4 RDIMMs, 10x4 RDIMMs, x8 RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs; UDIMMs and LRDIMMs are not supported
- Mixing of DIMM types is not supported (for example, 9x4 DIMMs with 10x4 RDIMMs)
- Mixing of 128GB 3DS RDIMMs and 256GB 3DS RDIMMs is not supported
- Mixing of 128GB 3DS RDIMMs (features BYEE and BQ3A) is not supported
- Mixing of 256GB 3DS RDIMMs (features BZPN and BQ3B) is not supported
- Mixing x4 and x8 DIMMs is not supported
- Mixing of DIMM rank counts is supported. Follow the required installation order installing the DIMMs with the higher rank counts first.
- Mixing of DIMM capacities is supported, however only two different capacities are supported across all channels of the processor (eg 16GB and 32GB). Follow the required installation order installing the larger DIMMs first.
- The use of the 128GB 3D RDIMM feature BYEE has the following requirements for thermal reasons:
- If CPU TDP > 240W, the combination of GPUs and 24x 2.5-inch drive bays is not supported
- Additional ambient temperature requirements - see https://pubs.lenovo.com/sr665-v3/thermal_rules for information
Note: Memory mirroring and memory rank sparing are not supported.
For best performance, consider the following:
- Ensure the memory installed is at least the same speed as the memory bus of the selected processor.
- Populate all 12 memory channels with identical DIMMs (same Lenovo part number)
The following memory protection technologies are supported:
- ECC detection/correction
- Bounded Fault detection/correction
- SDDC (for x4-based memory DIMMs; look for "x4" in the DIMM description. Not supported with 9x4 RDIMMs)
- Patrol/Demand Scrubbing
- DRAM Address Command Parity with Replay
- DRAM Uncorrected ECC Error Retry
- On-die ECC
- ECC Error Check and Scrub (ECS)
- Post Package Repair
Internal storage
The SR665 V3 has three drive bay zones and supports up to 20x 3.5-inch or 40x 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays or a combination of drive bays, depending on the selected chassis and backplane configuration. The server also supports configurations without any drive bays if desired.
The three drive bay zones are as follows:
- Front:
- Up to 12x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
- Up to 24x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
- Middle:
- 4x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
- 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
- Rear:
- Up to 4x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
- Up to 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
- Also supports 2x 7mm hot-swap drives bays
All drives are hot-swap and are accessible from the front, from the rear, or from drive bays that are located in the middle of the server (accessible when you remove the top cover of the server).
The server also supports one or two M.2 drives, installed in an M.2 adapter internal to the server.
In this section:
NVMe drive support
The SR665 V3 supports NVMe drives to maximize storage performance.
- Up to 32 NVMe drives in a 2.5-inch drive configuration, without oversubscription (that is, each x4 drive has a dedicated x4 (4 lanes) connection to the processor, either direct to the processor or via a retimer adapter)
- Up to 24 installed in front bays
- Up to 32 installed in front and mid bays
- Up to 8 NVMe drives in a 3.5-inch drive configuration, without oversubscription
- All installed in mid bays
Riser 3 support: The use of the onboard NVMe ports is mutually exclusive with Riser 3, as these use the same PCIe connectors. See the System architecture section.
The specifics of these configurations are covered in the Storage configurations section. The tables in those sections indicate the number of NVMe drives in each configuration.
In addition, the SR665 V3 supports two 7mm NVMe drives for use as boot drives. These two drives optionally support RAID via a separate RAID adapter installed in a PCIe slot.
The RAID 940-8i and RAID 940-16i adapters also support NVMe through a feature named Tri-Mode support (or Trimode support). This feature enables the use of NVMe U.3 drives at the same time as SAS and SATA drives. Tri-Mode requires an AnyBay backplane. Cabling of the controller to the backplanes is the same as with SAS/SATA drives, and the NVMe drives are connected via a PCIe x1 link to the controller.
NVMe drives connected using Tri-Mode support provide better performance than SAS or SATA drives: A SATA SSD has a data rate of 6Gbps, a SAS SSD has a data rate of 12Gbps, whereas an NVMe U.3 Gen 4 SSD with a PCIe x1 link will have a data rate of 16Gbps. NVMe drives typically also have lower latency and higher IOPS compared to SAS and SATA drives. Tri-Mode is supported with U.3 NVMe drives in either 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factor and requires an AnyBay backplane.
Tri-Mode requires U.3 drives: Only NVMe drives with a U.3 interface are supported. U.2 drives are not supported. See the Internal drive options section for the U.3 drives supported by the server.
Front drive bays
The front drive bay zone supports the following configurations:
- 8x or 12x 3.5-inch drive bays (all hot-swap)
- 8x, 16x or 24x 2.5-inch drive bays (all hot-swap)
- No backplanes and no drives (supports field upgrades)

* Backplane has an onboard SAS expander that provides connectivity to SAS/SATA drive bays in a separate rear backplane (order the rear backplane separately). See also note below for BQ2T.
The use of front drive bays has the following configuration rules:
- The SR665 V3 also supports configurations without any drive bays, allowing for drive bay upgrades as described in the field upgrades section.
- If 3.5-inch front drive bays are used, an internal (CFF) RAID adapter or HBA is not supported as the adapter and bays occupy the same physical space
- Any 8x 2.5-inch and 16x 2.5-inch drive configuration (SAS/SATA, AnyBay, or NVMe) can optionally be configured for use with the Integrated Diagnostics Panel as described in the Local management section. 3.5-inch drive configurations do not support the Integrated Diagnostics Panel. With the Integrated Diagnostics Display, 8-bay configurations can be upgrade to 16 bays, however 16-bay configurations cannot be upgrade to 24 bays.
- If you are building a server configuration that includes the ThinkSystem 2U 24x2.5" SAS/SATA with Rear 4-Bay Expander Backplane (feature BQ2T) and the order also includes a rack cabinet, then you can configure at most 6 drives to be installed in the factory. The remaining drives must be ordered separately using the option part numbers for the drives. This requirement does not apply if the order does not include a rack cabinet. The requirement is due to the shock/vibration limits of the 24x 2.5-inch backplane.
Mid drive bays
The SR665 V3 supports hot-swap drives installed in the middle of the server chassis. The drive bays are accessible by removing the top lid of the server and levering the mid drive chassis up at the front.
The following configurations are supported:
- 4x 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays
- 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays
- 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap NVMe drive bays
The drive bays in the open position are shown in the following figure.
M.2 support: When mid drive bays are configured, the M.2 adapter is installed on the mid drive bay mechanical as shown in the images.
Figure 10. Mid-chassis drive bays
The backplanes used to provide these drive bays are listed in the following table.

BCQL | ThinkSystem 2U 4x2.5" SAS/SATA Middle Backplane | - | 2‡ |
BDY7 | ThinkSystem 2U 4x2.5" Middle NVMe Backplane | Gen4 | 2‡ |
‡ 2.5-inch drive backplanes for the mid-chassis area must be installed in pairs. NVMe and SAS/SATA cannot be mixed.
Field upgrades: Backplanes are available as part numbers for field upgrades along with require cable option kits, as described in the Field upgrades section below.
The use of drive bays in the mid-chassis area has the following configuration rules:
- All processors are supported. Higher TDP processors will require the performance heatsinks.
- Full-length adapter cards are not supported
- GPUs (including low profile GPUs such as the NVIDIA A2) are not supported
- The use of mid drive bays requires Riser 1 be installed, since power for the mid bay backplanes comes from Riser 1
Rear drive bays
The SR665 V3 supports hot-swap drives installed at the rear of the server chassis. Supported configurations are as follows:
- 3.5-inch hot-swap drives
- 2x SAS/SATA drive bays
- 4x SAS/SATA drive bays
- 2.5-inch hot-swap drives
- 4x SAS/SATA drive bays
- 4x AnyBay drive bays
- 8x SAS/SATA drive bays
The configurations are shown in the following figure.
Figure 11. Rear 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive bay configurations
The backplanes used to provide these drive bays are listed in the following table.
7mm drives: The SR665 V3 supports two 7mm drives. See the 7mm drives section for details.

Field upgrades: Backplanes are available as part numbers for field upgrades along with require cable option kits, as described in the Field upgrades section below.
The use of rear drive bays has the following configuration rules:
- The use of rear bays restricts the number of slots and the choice of risers that are supported. See the I/O expansion section for details.
- The use of rear drive bays may require that Riser 1 or Riser 2 be installed, since power for the rear backplane comes from that riser.

Field upgrades
The SR665 V3 is orderable without drive bays, allowing you to add a backplane, cabling and controllers as field upgrades. The server also supports upgrading some configurations by adding additional front drive bays (for example, upgrading from 8 to 16x 2.5-inch drive bays).
To add drive bays you will need to order both drive backplanes and cable kits. Backplane kits do not include cables.
The upgrades are listed as follows:
- 3.5-inch chassis drive bay upgrades
- 2.5-inch chassis drive bay upgrades
- Upgrades to Retimer adapters
- Upgrades to an Internal (CFF) HBA/RAID adapter

When adding drive bays, you will also need to add the appropriate storage controller(s). Consult the tables in the Storage configurations section to determine what controller sections are supported and what additional controllers you will need. Controllers are described in the Controllers for internal storage section.
Upgrades to Retimer adapters
If you are upgrading to a configuration that includes a Retimer adapter (see the Detailed tables in the Storage configurations section), then you will need to also order one of the following cable kits.
Part number | Description | Quantity required |
---|---|---|
4X97A85860 | ThinkSystem SR665 V3 32x2.5" PCIe Gen4 NVME Retimer Cable Option Kit | 1 |
4X97A85859 | ThinkSystem SR665 V3 24x2.5" PCIe Gen4 NVME Retimer Cable Option Kit | 1 |
Upgrades to an Internal (CFF) HBA/RAID adapter
If you want to add an internal (CFF) storage adapter (HBA, RAID adapter or SAS expander) to a configuration, you will need to order the cable kit as listed in the following table. Suitable upgrades are either replacing an existing adapter in a rear PCIe slot, or adding the CFF adapter to a server without any storage adapter installed.
The cable kit to order is listed in the following table.
Part number | Description | Quantity required |
---|---|---|
4X97A85177 | ThinkSystem SR665 V3 Internal HBA/RAID Adapter Cable Option Kit | 1 |
RAID flash power module (supercap) support
If you plan to add one of the RAID adapters that includes a RAID flash power module (supercap) as a field upgrade, then you may also need to order a Supercap installation kit for the supercap, depending on the location where the supercap will be installed. For CTO orders, the components needed are automatically derived when you select the RAID adapter.
The adapters that this applies to are as follows:
- Any supported RAID 9350 adapter
- Any supported RAID 940 adapter
The location of the supercaps depends on the mid-chassis drive cage used in the server, as shown in the following table.
Mid drive cage | Supercaps supported |
Location of supercaps | Supercap holder |
---|---|---|---|
No mid drive cage | 4 | Mounted on the air baffle | Not needed |
2.5-inch drives | 2 | Mounted on the left side of the mid drive cage | Integrated into the left side of the 2.5-inch mid drive cage |
3.5-inch drives | 1 | Mounted under the system fan cage | Included with ThinkSystem SR665 V3 Middle 4x3.5" SAS/SATA Backplane Option Kit (4XH7A85892) or order separately (see below) |
For 3.5-inch drive bay configurations, if the server already has 3.5-inch mid-chassis drive bays, then the supercap holder is already present under the system fan cages. If you plan to add 3.5-inch mid-chassis drive bays by adding ThinkSystem SR665 V3 Middle 4x3.5" SAS/SATA Backplane Option Kit (4XH7A85892), then the supercap holder is part of the option kit.
7mm drives
The SR665 V3 supports two 7mm drives, either both SATA or both NVMe, at the rear of the server. These drives go in place of either PCIe slot 3 (Riser 1) or PCIe slot 6 (Riser 2) as shown in the following figure.
Figure 13. Rear 7mm drive bay configurations
For CTO orders, the configuration includes the drive bays and the cage the the drive bays are mounted on to.The cage required depends on where the 7mm drives are located (Riser 1 or Riser 2) and whether there are PCIe slots above the 7mm drive bays. The following table lists the ordering information.
Tip for 4x 3.5-inch rear drives: If you wish to configure 4x 3.5-inch rear drives plus 7mm drives in a CTO configuration, the 7mm drives will install in slot 6. You should specify riser card BLKP for Riser 1 and then leave Riser 2 without a riser selected.

The use of the 7mm rear drive bays has the following configuration rules:
- The 7mm rear drive kit is supported in either slot 3 or slot 6 but not both at the same time.
- M.2 and 7mm are mutually exclusive: they are not supported together in the same configuration
- For ThinkSystem 7mm SATA/NVMe 2-Bay Rear Enablement Kit v2 (feature BU0N):
- The 7mm drive bays support either SATA drives or NVMe drives but not both. You specify SATA or NVMe in the configurator using feature codes BTTV (SATA) or BTTW (NVMe).
- If RAID support is required, select feature code BS7A in the configurator to enable RAID
- The support of RAID-1 with the 7mm drives requires an additional RAID adapter that is installed in PCIe slot 2 or slot 3:
- RAID support for 7mm SATA drives requires a RAID 5350-8i adapter (feature BT7N)
- RAID support for 7mm NVMe drives requires a RAID 540-8i adapter operating in Tri-Mode (feature BT7P)
- The RAID adapter used for 7mm drive support cannot be configured for use with other drive bays (not even with M.2)
- If RAID support is not required, the 7mm drives connect to an onboard port; No additional adapter is required
- For ThinkSystem 2U 7mm Drive Kit w/ NVMe RAID (feature B8P3)
- The adapter only supports NVMe drives
- RAID functionality is integrated into the 7mm adapter using a Marvell 88NR2241 NVMe RAID Controller
- For ThinkSystem 7mm SATA/NVMe 2-Bay Rear Hot-Swap RAID Enablement Kit (feature BYFG)
- The adapter supports either SATA or NVMe drives
- RAID functionality is integrated into the 7mm adapter using a Broadcom RAID Controller

‡ These custom form factor (CFF) adapters are only supported with 2.5-inch front drive bays. Not supported in configurations with 3.5-inch front drive bays.
† Adapter also supports PCIe 4.0 x1 connectivity to NVMe drives (requires NVMe drives with U.3 interface)
Configuration notes:
- Supercap support limits the number of RAID adapters installable: The table lists whether the adapter includes a power module (supercap) to power the flash memory. The server supports between 1 and 4 supercaps depending on the server configuration as described in the RAID flash power module (supercap) support section. The number of supercaps supported also determines the maximum number of RAID adapters with flash that can be installed in the server.
- Field upgrades: If you are adding a RAID adapter with supercap to the server as a field upgrade, you may need a supercap holder as described in the RAID flash power module (supercap) support section.
- 7mm drive support: The storage adapters listed in the table below do not provide connectivity to the 7mm drive bays. The 7mm drives have their own independent RAID controller. See the 7mm drives section for details.
- E810 Ethernet and X350 RAID/HBAs: The use of both an Intel E810 network adapter and an X350 HBA/RAID adapter (9350, 5350 and 4350) is currently not supported in ThinkSystem servers. For details see Support Tip HT513226. Planned support for this combination of adapters is 4Q/2023 (SI 23-2).
The RAID 940-8i and RAID 940-16i adapters also support NVMe through a feature named Tri-Mode support (or Trimode support). This feature enables the use of NVMe U.3 drives at the same time as SAS and SATA drives. Tri-Mode requires an AnyBay backplane. Cabling of the controller to the backplanes is the same as with SAS/SATA drives, and the NVMe drives are connected via a PCIe x1 link to the controller.
NVMe drives connected using Tri-Mode support provide better performance than SAS or SATA drives: A SATA SSD has a data rate of 6Gbps, a SAS SSD has a data rate of 12Gbps, whereas an NVMe U.3 Gen 4 SSD with a PCIe x1 link will have a data rate of 16Gbps. NVMe drives typically also have lower latency and higher IOPS compared to SAS and SATA drives. Tri-Mode is supported with U.3 NVMe drives in either 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factor and requires an AnyBay backplane.
Tri-Mode requires U.3 drives: Only NVMe drives with a U.3 interface are supported. U.2 drives are not supported. See the Internal drive options section for the U.3 drives supported by the server.
The onboard SATA controller has the following features:
- Controller integrated into the AMD processor
- JBOD only; no RAID support
- Supports up to 20 SATA drives in the SR665 V3 (16 with one processor)
- Supports HDDs and SSDs; can be mixed
The onboard NVMe support has the following features:
- Controller integrated into the AMD processor
- Supports up to 20x NVMe drives direct connected to onboard ports; additional drives through retimer/switch adapters
- Each drive has PCIe 5.0 x4 host interface
- Supports JBOD - Intel and non-Intel NVMe SSDs
- No support for RAID

Internal backup units
The server does not supports any internal backup units, such as tape drives or RDX drives. External backup units are available as described in the External backup units section.
Optical drives
The server supports the external USB optical drive listed in the following table.
Part number | Feature code | Description |
---|---|---|
7XA7A05926 | AVV8 | ThinkSystem External USB DVD RW Optical Disk Drive |
The drive is based on the Lenovo Slim DVD Burner DB65 drive and supports the following formats: DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-ROM, DVD-R DL, CD-RW, CD-R, CD-ROM.
I/O expansion
The SR665 V3 supports a total of up to 12x PCIe slots, 10x at the rear and 2x at the front, plus 1x OCP 3.0 SFF slot for networking. The OCP slot can be either at the front or at the rear (but not both). Slot availability is based on riser selection and drive bays configured. The use of some slots requires that both processors be installed as listed below.
Topics in this section:
Slot layout and connections
The slots are provided by riser cards:
- Riser 1: Slots 1, 2 and 3, all full-height slots (connect to CPU 1)
- Riser 2: Slots 4, 5, and 6, all full-height slots (connect to CPU 2)
- Riser 3: Slot 7 and 8
- When configured as full-height slots: Slot 7 connects to CPU 1, slot 8 to CPU 2
- When configured as low-profile slots: Both slots connect to CPU 1
- Riser 4: Slots 9 and 10 (connect to CPU 2)
NVMe support: The use of Riser 3 is mutually exclusive to onboard NVMe support as they use the same PCIe connectors.
The slots in each riser are either PCIe x16 or PCIe x8 depending on the riser card selected as listed in the table below. All x8 slots are open-ended and physically support x16 adapters. Depending on the risers selected, slots are either PCIe 5.0 or PCIe 4.0.
The SR665 V3 also supports front-accessible PCIe slots: 2x PCIe 4.0 x16 slots plus a dedicated OCP 3.0 SFF slot for networking. Front-accessible slots are as follows:
- Slot 11: PCIe 4.0 x16 FHHL (connects to CPU 2)
- Slot 12: PCIe 4.0 x16 FHHL (connects to CPU 2)
As discussed in the Internal storage section, the server supports drive bays in the rear of the server. Depending on the drive bays selected, the number of slots available for adapters is reduced. The figure below shows the supported combinations of slots and drive bays.
Internal HBA/RAID adapter: For configurations with 2.5-inch front drive bays, an internal RAID adapter or HBA can be installed in a dedicated space and cabled to a PCIe x8 connector, thereby freeing up a slot for other purposes.
The following figure shows the locations of the rear-accessible slots for each configuration selection. The OCP slot in located in the lower-left corner.
Figure 14. SR665 V3 rear slot configurations
The following figure shows the locations of the front-accessible slots.
Slot combinations
The SR665 V3 supports the riser combinations as listed in the following table. The table lists the PCIe slot risers in the rear of the server, the PCIe slots in the front of the server, and the front & rear OCP slots.
The table also lists the total number of PCIe slots (excluding the OCP slot) assuming a 3-slot riser is selected for Riser 1 and Riser 2.

† In the configurator, when feature BQ2W is selected, BTMS is automatically derived and provides slots 9 & 10. 4XH7A85888 contains both risers.
To configure the rear OCP slot, no additional feature codes are needed. To configure the front OCP slot, you will need the components listed in the following table. These components are used to route the rear OCP signals to the front of the server.
Tip: See the Slot combinations section to see which slot combinations are supported with the front and rear OCP slots
Feature code | Description |
---|---|
BQ2E | ThinkSystem V3 1U/2U Front OCP Interposer Card |
BQ2F* | ThinkSystem V3 1U/2U Rear OCP Interposer Card |
* BQ2F is automatically derived when BQ2E is selected
Configuration rules:
- Riser 3 is not supported with the M.2 adapter
- Front PCIe slots are not supported with the M.2 adapter
- For best performance, install PCIe 5.0 adapters in PCIe 5.0 (Gen5) slots
- The server only supports one OCP slot, either in the rear of the server or the front of the server, not both
- If you want to configure 4x low profile slots for slots 7-10, select feature BQ2W which provides riser 3 (slots 7, 8). Feature BTMS will then be automatically derived to provide riser 4 (slots 9 & 10), along with the necessary cables. Option part number 4XH7A85888 contains both of these risers and the cables.
- If you want to add both a 7mm drive enclosure plus 2x PCIe slots above it, you will need to order the 7mm drive option (either 4XH7A85898 or 4XH7A85899) plus the x16/x16/E riser kit (4XH7A82900 for PCIe Gen 5 or 4XH7A82892 for Gen 4). The riser kit part number provides the 2-slot riser card.
- All PCIe x8 slots are open ended and will physically support x16 adapters

https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1288#sr665-v3-support=SR665%2520V3&internal-or-external-ports=External
The RAID 940-8e adapter uses a flash power module (supercap), which can be installed in one of up to 4 locations in the server depending on the server configuration. See the RAID flash power module (supercap) support section for details. The number of 940-8e RAID adapters supported is based on how many supercaps can be installed in the server. If an internal RAID adapter with flash power modules is installed, the maximum number of 940-8e adapters supported is reduced by 1.

For CTO orders, the SR665 V3 also supports the selection of a placeholder for a GPU. This selection results in a "GPU ready" configuration which ensures that the server ships with the components needed for GPU installation (GPU power cables, air ducts, power supplies, fans, etc) without actually including the GPUs themselves. The following table lists the ordering information for CTO orders.
Part number | Feature code | Description |
---|---|---|
CTO only | BW40 | ThinkSystem NVIDIA A4500 GPU-Ready Installation |
CTO only | BVLL | ThinkSystem NVIDIA H100 GPU-Ready Installation |
CTO only | BW3Z | ThinkSystem NVIDIA L40 GPU-Ready Installation |
CTO only | BP4X | ThinkSystem DW GPU-Ready Installation (for all other supported DW GPUs) |
Configuration rules
The following configuration requirements must be met when installing GPUs:
- Some NVIDIA A Series GPUs are available as two feature codes, one with a CEC chip and one without a CEC chip (ones without the CEC chip have "w/o CEC" in the name). The CEC is a secondary Hardware Root of Trust (RoT) module that provides an additional layer of security, which can be used by customers who have high regulatory requirements or high security standards. NVIDIA uses a multi-layered security model and hence the protection offered by the primary Root of Trust embedded in the GPU is expected to be sufficient for most customers. The CEC defeatured products still offer Secure Boot, Secure Firmware Update, Firmware Rollback Protection, and In-Band Firmware Update Disable. Specifically, without the CEC chip, the GPU does not support Key Revocation or Firmware Attestation. CEC and non-CEC GPUs of the same type of GPU can be mixed in field upgrades.
- All GPUs installed must be identical
- When a double-wide GPU is installed in slot 2, 5 or 7, the adjacent slot 1, 4 and 8 respectively is not available
- Flash storage adapters are not supported.
- Middle drive bays and Rear drive bays are not supported
- For details regarding supported combinations of front drive bays, processors, fans, and ambient temperature, see the Thermal Rules page of the User Guide:
