Storage Controller

The PowerEdge C6525 supports multiple storage configurations for numerous type of workloads. The C6400 chassis supports the following configuration types:

  • No hard drives in a no-backplane configuration.
  • 24 x 2.5-inch direct backplane configuration with up to six SAS/SATA drives for each PowerEdge C6525 node.
  • 24 x 2.5-inch NVMe backplane configuration with up to six drives for each PowerEdge C6525 node out of which 2 drives can be NVMe drives. Both the drives can support up to Gen3 speed.
  • 12 x 3.5-inch direct backplane configuration with up to 3 SAS/SATA drives for each PowerEdge C6525 node.
Controllers Models
Storage controllers PERC H345, PERC H745, HBA345, HBA355i
Integrated storage controllers S150
H745 is Not supported for CPU TDP ≥ 180 Watts.
Boot Option BOSS M.2 Riser

The system also contains a BOSS M.2 riser that holds 2 Drives. This is a dedicated slot that is connect to the SATA port on the system board. View the manual for more details.

GPU

A Single GPU is supported on Riser 1A if that is the only riser installed, If both risers are installed then 1 GPU can be installed in Slot 2 of Riser 2A. Slot 2 has top priority for the GPU. Another tip is that the T4 GPU card is Not supported with 128GB LRDIMM. Please read the manuals for all the limitations of the GPU configuration.
