General Supplementary Matters
HDD
Capacity of Hard disk drive is displayed in decimal not binary. 1GB=1000^3B、1TB=1000^4B.
PCI expansion slot
Transfer speed of PCI Express
PCI Express (PCIe): 2.5Gb/s (simplex) per lane
PCI Express 2.0 (PCIe 2.0): 5Gb/s (simplex) per lane
PCI Express 3.0 (PCIe 3.0): 8Gb/s (simplex) per lane
Time display
A system clock is affected by temperature conditions in storage. If high accuracy of the system clock is required, use of
NPT servers is recommended.
Memory Supplementary matters
Installation rule
The number of memory which can be installed varies depending on number of installed CPUs.
This installation rule defined to maximize performance efficiently in multiple cores and tasks operation.
Registered DIMM (RDIMM), Load Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) can be installed up to 12 per 1CPU.
Mixing of RDIMM and LRDIMM is not allowed to be installed.
When install DIMMs, higher capacity memory must be installed preferentially, if ignored this rule, it may cause failures of DIMMs. This
rule applies in factory installation.
For dual CPU system, install DIMM to CPU1 firstly and then to CPU2 alternately.
Memory population varies with number of installed DIMMs. In installation of 5, 7, 9 or 11 DIMMs per CPU, optimal performance might
NOT be obtained. Other memory populations are recommended.
Single CPU system
Dual CPU system

Internal drive supplementary matters
Conditions of internal drives in default factory configuration
In default factory configuration, there are some conditions of drive types and RAID levels can be installed
as below.
Common
All drives in default factory configuration should be of the same type, sector and rotation speed.
For the shipment with RAID array, select the drives in the same capacity as many as needed.
RAID controller configuration
RAID level 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 can be installed for default factory configuration shipment. Selectable RAID levels are depending on the
RAID controller.
Capacity of Logical drive can be within 2TB with legacy boot mode, capacity of logical drive can be within the total capacity of
logical disks with UEFI boot mode.
As factory shipment, Initial cache policy of RAID controllers is Write Through for N8103-189, Write back for N8103-190/191.

Conditions for mixing of Internal Drives
Mixing of different type of SSD, HDD and mixing of HDD and SSD are not allowed to be installed in default factory configuration.
RAID controller is required for mixing of Internal Drives
Mixed Internal Drives cannot be installed in the same RAID array.
When using hot spare disk for different RAID arrays which consist of various type of drives, assign “Dedicated Hot Spare” to each
RAID arrays with the same type of drive, to prevent from mixing different type of drives in a RAID array. “Global Hot Spare” cannot
be used.
Mixing of different type of drives
Two types of drive can be installed in standard drive cage (8slots) and optional drive cage (8slots), in total, up to four types of drive
using both cages. There is nine “type”, such as SAS HDD 10,000rpm(512n), SAS HDD 10,000rpm(512e), SAS HDD
15,000rpm(512n), SAS HDD 7,200rpm(512e), SATA HDD 7,200rpm(512n), SATA HDD 7,200rpm(512e), SATA SSD(ME/VE/RI).
