ThinkSystem External USB DVD RW Optical Disk Drive
The External USB DVD RW Optical Disk Drive supports the following types of media: CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW,
DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-ROM, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW.
I/O expansion
The SR650 server supports one LOM card slot and up to seven PCIe slots: one slot on the system planar that is
dedicated to an internal storage controller, one regular PCIe slot on the system planar, and up to five PCIe slots
with different riser cards installed into two riser sockets on the system planar (one riser socket supports installation
of one riser card).
The slot form factors are as follows:
LOM card slot
Slot 1: PCIe 3.0 x16 or PCIe 3.0 x8; full-height, half-length (PCIe x16 slot is double-wide)
Slot 2: PCIe 3.0 x8; full-height, half-length (not present if the slot 1 is PCIe x16 or slot 3 is ML2 x16)
Slot 3: PCIe 3.0 x8, or ML2 x8, or ML2 x16; full-height, half-length
Slot 4: PCIe 3.0 x8; low profile (vertical slot on system planar)
Slot 5: PCIe 3.0 x16; full-height, half-length
Slot 6: PCIe 3.0 x16; full-height, half-length
Slot 7: PCIe 3.0 x8 (dedicated to an internal storage controller)
Configuration notes:
Slots 5 and 6 require the second processor to be installed.
Slots 1 - 3 are not present if the Rear HDD Kit is installed.
Slots 1, 5, and 6 can be enabled for full-length PCIe adapters (such as GPU adapters):
Factory-installed GPUs: When a GPU adapter is selected, all required parts are derived.
Factory-enabled full-length support (no adapters included): Select the feature code B3RY, and all
required parts will be derived based on the number of processors and PCIe riser cards selected.
