Memory
| DIMM type | Rank | Capacity | DIMM rated voltage and speed | DIMMs per Channel (DPC) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UDIMM | 1R | 8GB / 16GB | DDR4 (1.2 V), 3200 MT/s | 3200 MT/s |
| 2R | 32GB | DDR4 (1.2 V), 3200 MT/s | 3200 MT/s |
Boot Options
BOSS-S1 PCIe Adapter
The Boot Optimized Sub System is the perfect way to load the OS on this server. Otherwise, you will have to allocate 1 of the 4 drives. This is not ideal when the storage in the system is so limited and the mixing of drive types is not supported. The BOSS module takes up 1 PCIe slot on the butterfly riser leaving you with 1 more PCIe slot to us for networking.
IDSDM
The Internal Dual SD module is great for loading the hypervisor OS for virtualization. This IDSDM uses the same slot as the internal USB. These can't be installed together. This IDSDM takes up to 2 MicroSD Cards.
Internal USB
The Internal USB is usually embedded on the system board or comes with the IDSDM Module. This R250 Rack Server has a Module dedicated to the internal USB Drive. This usb drive can handle any OS you need to load. View the Manual for more information on the internal USB.
