Higher NIC adapter power indicates a higher installation priority.• RAID 940 series adapters require a RAID flash power module.• The RAID 940-8i or RAID 940-16i adapter supports Tri-mode. When Tri-mode is enabled, the serversupports SAS, SATA and U.3 NVMe drives at the same time. NVMe drives are connected via a PCIe x1link to the controller.Note: To support Tri-mode with U.3 NVMe drives, U.3 x1 mode must be enabled for the selected driveslots on the backplane through the XCC Web GUI. Otherwise, the U.3 NVMe drives cannot be detected.For more information, see “U.3 NVMe drive can be detected in NVMe connection, but cannot be detectedin Tri-mode” on page 217.Thermal rulesThis topic provides thermal rules for the server.• “Typical configurations” on page 47• “Storage configurations” on page 48Typical configurationsThis section provides thermal information for typical configurations.TDP: Thermal Design Power; S/S: SAS/SATAFront baysMax.
