Note: Utilizing SED feature, the SED drive requires one LSI MegaRAID HBA feature to be ordered-- #EKEA, or #EKEH--along with either #EKWB (the SW license) or #EKWC (the LSI HW key) to unlock LSI SafeStore feature. The SED feature cannot be utilized with LSI HBA feature #EKEB, or with no adapter.
PCIe I/O Adapter Slots:
Two PCIe G4 x16 FHFL slots, CAPI 2.0 enabled (Support GPU cards)
Three PCIe G4 x8 FHFL slots, one CAPI 2.0 enabled (all physically x16)
One PCIe G4 x8 LP slot
Two PCIe G4 x16 FHFL slots, CAPI 2.0 enabled (Support GPU cards)
Three PCIe G4 x8 FHFL slots, one CAPI 2.0 enabled (all physically x16)
One PCIe G4 x8 LP slot
Note: Only LP adapters can be placed in LP slots. A x8 adapter can be placed in an x16 slot and a x16 adapter can be put into any of the x8 slots which are physically x16, but the PCIe BW will be reduced.
