Controllers for internal storage

The following table lists the storage controllers and options for internal storage of the SR630 server.
Table 17. RAID controllers and HBAs for internal storage
Description
12 Gb SAS/SATA RAID controllers
ThinkSystem RAID 530-8i PCIe 12Gb Adapter
ThinkSystem RAID 730-8i 1GB Cache PCIe 12Gb Adapter
ThinkSystem RAID 930-8i 2GB Flash PCIe 12Gb Adapter
ThinkSystem RAID 930-16i 4GB Flash PCIe 12Gb Adapter
12 Gb SAS/SATA non-RAID HBAs
ThinkSystem 430-8i SAS/SATA 12Gb HBA
ThinkSystem 430-16i SAS/SATA 12Gb HBA
NVMe PCIe interfaces (non-RAID)
Onboard NVMe interface (4-port)
ThinkSystem 1610-4P NVMe Switch Adapter
* Available in China only.
** Requires a PCIe x16 riser card.
Configuration notes:
Low profile SAS RAID controllers and HBAs for internal storage are supported in the dedicated PCIe x8
slot 4 on the system board and low-profile and full-high PCIe x8 and x16 slots supplied by the PCIe Riser
Cards 1 and 2.
NVMe Switch Adapters are supported in the low-profile PCIe x16 slots supplied by the PCIe Riser
Cards 1 and 2.
In the configurations without GPU installed, the total quantity of the RAID 930-8i, 16i, and 8e controllers in
the server must not exceed 3 (up to 3 supercapacitors can be mounted in the server).
In the configurations with GPU installed, the total quantity of the RAID 930-8i, 16i, and 8e controllers in
the server must not exceed 1 (the storage controller can be installed only in the PCIe slot 1; the PCIe slots
3 and 4 cannot be used if the GPU adapter is installed).
The onboard NVMe interface provides 4x PCIe 3.0 x4 ports for JBOD (non-RAID) connectivity to U.2 NVMe PCIe
SSDs in the AnyBay drive bays.
For 10x U.2 NVMe configurations, the onboard NVMe interface and two NVMe Switch Adapters provide JBOD
(non-RAID) connectivity with PCIe 3.0 x4 links to each of the U.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs. The NVMe Switch Adapter
has a PCIe 3.0 x16 host interface.
The following table summarizes features of supported SAS/SATA storage controllers.
