Model-specific questions, source references and configuration guidance. Confirm the exact platform and bill of materials before ordering.
Do not apply the dual-CPU total to a single-CPU system. The specification lists 16 DIMM slots per CPU, or 32 with two CPUs. A single-CPU upgrade must use the channels and slots assigned to that processor and follow the supported population rules.
Not necessarily. The official specification lists the NVMe RAID Key for the Intel NVMe controller as optional. Confirm the drive connection path, controller, required RAID level and key or entitlement together; NVMe drives alone do not establish that the RAID feature set is included.
