Technical Specifications

FAQs

Q: Does this riser by itself add NVMe support?
A: It provides the physical SlimSAS ports; you also need the correct NVMe backplane and cables for the drives to be recognized.

Q: How many NVMe drives can it enable?
A: Up to 8x U.2 NVMe drives, typically two per SlimSAS port with the appropriate cabling and backplane.

Q: Can I mix NVMe and SAS/SATA in the same chassis?
A: Yes, many DL38X Gen10 configurations support mixed backplanes, but each backplane must match the drive type it connects (NVMe vs. SAS/SATA).

Q: Does this provide RAID for NVMe drives?
A: No. NVMe RAID functionality, if required, depends on platform features or additional controllers/software.

Q: Are special firmware or license features needed?
A: Keep system firmware current. Some features may require platform-specific licenses; consult your server documentation.
