However,the C2 slot cannot provide both 12X DDR and PCIe cable ports.– The card installed in the C3 slot can contain two 12X DDR cable ports. However, the C3 slot cannotprovide both 12X DDR and PCIe cable ports.v Support for disk drive enclosures, as shown in the following figure, is as follows:– The server contains a SAS port.v Support for PCIe storage enclosures, as shown in the following figure, is as follows:– The card installed in the C2 slot can contain two PCIe cable ports. However, the C2 slot cannotprovide both PCIe and 12X DDR cable ports.– The card installed in the C3 slot can contain two PCIe cable ports. However, the C3 slot cannotprovide both PCIe and 12X DDR cable ports.Figure 26. Model 8231-E2C connections for PCIe storage enclosuresFigure 27.
