Configuring PCIe slots

The PowerEdge FX2/FX2s chassis optionally contain eight PCIe slots where each PCIe slot is assigned to a specific sled. By default, all PCIe slots are mapped. You can enable or disable the assignment of PCIe slots to the servers using the CMC web interface or RACADM commands.

The following tables list the PCIe mapping for full-width, half-width, and quarter-width compute sleds.
Table 1. PCIe mapping for full-width compute sleds
PCIe Slot Mapping for full-width sleds (PowerEdge FC830)
PCIe slot-1 3
PCIe slot-2 3
PCIe slot-3 1
PCIe slot-4 1
PCIe slot-5 3
PCIe slot-6 3
PCIe slot-7 1
PCIe slot-8 1
Table 2. PCIe mapping for half-width compute sleds
PCIe Slot Mapping for half-width sleds (PowerEdge FC630)
PCIe slot-1 4
PCIe slot-2 4
PCIe slot-3 2
PCIe slot-4 2
PCIe slot-5 3
PCIe slot-6 3
PCIe slot-7 1
PCIe slot-8 1
Table 3. PCIe mapping for quarter-width compute sleds
PCIe Slot Mapping for quarter-width sleds (PowerEdge FC430)
PCIe slot-1 3d
PCIe slot-2 3c
PCIe slot-3 1d
PCIe slot-4 1c
PCIe slot-5 3b
PCIe slot-6 3a
PCIe slot-7 1b
PCIe slot-8 1a
  • NOTE: PCIe management is supported only for PowerEdge FX2s and not PowerEdge FX2.

For more information about mapping PCIe slots, see the Dell PowerEdge FD332 Owner’s Manual .

For more information about managing PCIe slots, see the CMC for Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s Online Help .

  • NOTE: The Agent-free monitoring feature is not available for the PCIe PERC and Network cards in the Chassis PCIe slots. Agent-free monitoring is the systems management solution for Dell’s 12th generation of PowerEdge servers. It is out-of-band with no dependence on any operating system agents. Using Agent-free monitoring you can monitor the storage attached to the server (PERCs, hard disks, enclosures and so on) network devices using iDRAC without installing any agent on the managed system or management station. For more information on Agent-free monitoring see, Agent-free inventory and monitoring for storage and network devices in Dell PowerEdge 12G Servers whitepaper in Dell TechCenter.
