HPE Apollo 6500 Power Shelf
Chassis & Power Management Modules With 1 enclosure all 4 PSU ports are filled. With a 2 Enclosure cabling 1 of the PSU are for redundancy. This is why only 3 cables are wired to the chassis from the Power Shelf.
Advanced Power Management (APM) Connects with the HPE Apollo 6000 Power Shelf to control power distribution across enclosures and nodes.
It Tracks power consumption at the rack, enclosure, and chassis levels
Helps optimize power usage by setting limits on the maximum power consumption of the system, ensuring no component exceeds its power capacity
Apollo 6500 Daisy Chaining (CMM p4) Port 4 on the CMM is specifically used for daisy chaining via iLO
Streamlines system administration by enabling unified control of multiple enclosures.

HPE XL270d Gen9 User Guide
The XL270d comes with an embedded Software RAID controller, the HPE Dynamic Smart Array B140i Controller (SATA Only). The embedded B140i will operate in UEFI mode only. For legacy support, AHCI mode is required.
The preferred RAID controller for SAS or SATA drives is the HPE Smart Array P542D (851508-B21). This Smart Array has a unique PCIe connection that has been designed into the XL270d for this RAID controller.

4:1 Module Riser Kit (850508-B21) Supports 4 GPUs and 1 PCIe slot per CPU.
Supports NVIDIA Tesla K80
8:1 Module Riser Kit (850500-B21) Supports 8 GPUs and 1 PCIe slot per CPU.
GPUDirect is not supported for more than 8 logical GPU per CPU, and as the K80 contains two logical GPU per card, the 8:1 configuration will not support GPUDirect.
GPU Mode
For workloads that have a great deal of GPU to GPU communications, such as Deep Learning, the “HPE Peer to Peer GPU Mode FIO Kit” (782400-B21) is recommended. Most traditional HPC workloads have little GPU to GPU communications and the “HPE High Performance GPU Mode FIO Kit” (782402-B21) configuration will optimize bandwidth back to the CPU and system main memory.
Both riser options support either GPU Mode.
