Notes . . .

1.Never disable OPROM for the mezzanine slot if the mezzanine card is present, or the system will not boot. If you remove the mezzanine card and disable its OPROM, you can boot from another bootable device (RAID card, embedded RAID, or from SAN via an HBA or CNA card). When you boot from a device, make sure its OPROM is enabled, it is in the proper boot sequence, and its BIOS is configured for a bootable device.

2.If you want to boot from a device other than the 9271-8i, or 9271CV-8i MegaRAID PCIe card, you can leave the card installed. Just disable the OPROM for its slot, and the system will boot even with the card installed.

3.Dual RAID controllers are not supported in this server

4.External RAID card is the 9285CV-8e or 9286CV-8e. Any of these can be installed simultaneously with one mezzanine RAID controller card. They cannot be used simultaneously with an internal RAID controller card (9271-8i, or 9271CV-8i) because of mounting space limitations for the supercap (there is space to mount only one supercap).

5.A = available slot, O = occupied slot, U = unsupported slot (slot 2 is not supported in 1-CPU systems)

6.The mezzanine slot is not supported in 1-CPU systems
