Product Description
The PowerEdge M640 is supported on both Dell PowerEdge VRTX and PowerEdge M1000e Blade Chassis. The Dell Shared PERC 8 card is located between the storage array and the power distribution board on the VRTX planar. The Dell Shared PERC H730P slot routes SAS to the nearby planar miniSAS connectors, which are used to internally cable SAS from the PERC to the SAS expander cards in the storage array.
