R620 internal GPU how-to

Question

R620 Technical Manual page 18 (https://i.dell.com/sites/content/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/dell-poweredge-r620-technical-guide.pdf)

"Note: With an internal GPU or a ¾ length PCIe card, the R620 cannot support a 10Gb Dell Select
Network Adapter (NDC) or any mini-type PERC. An adapter-type PERC is required with an internal
GPU configuration."

I have a PERC H710P Mini installed ... does that mean it needs to be removed? Where do drives plugin afterwards? Also, what is an "adapter-type PERC"

DELL-Shine K · Answer

What backplane did you have on the server? Is it X4, X8 or X10?. If you have X8 backplane you can connect it to adapter PERC with different cable. You can refer "Figure 7" on below link for details
