Abbreviations used in tables below are defined as follows:
• Max.Temp.: Maximum ambient temperature at sea level
• FIO = riser 5 + front OCP
• S/S: SAS/SATA
• Any: AnyBay
• S: standard
• P: performance
• NA: not applicable
• Y: yes
• Y* in the Support middle bays or Support rear bays column: yes (when no Gen5 7.68 TB or larger
capacity NVMe drive is installed)
• Y* in the Support DIMMs >= 96 GB column: yes (when no ThinkSystem 96GB TruDDR5 4800MHz (2Rx4)
RDIMM-A or ThinkSystem 128GB TruDDR5 4800MHz (4Rx4) 3DS RDIMM-A v1 is installed)
• N: no
Processor groups are defined as follows:
• Group B: 200 W ≤ cTDP ≤ 240 W
• Group A: 240 W < cTDP ≤ 300 W
• Group E: 320 W ≤ cTDP ≤ 400 W
