Internal Dual SD Module for PowerEdge T130. Does it exist?

Question

Hi All,

I've been trying to find the Internal Dual SD Module (IDSDM) card for my PowerEdge T130 but unfortunately have not found the part number for it (nor for a compatible card). There is a slot on the motherboard that the manual says it's for an SD card, but nowhere does it mention the name, part number, or what it looks like. I've looked at the pictures of many IDSDM cards but none look like they would physically fit, either because of the connector or the shape of the board. I've searched on many other forums and websites but cannot seem to find any reference to it outside the two lines in the manual. I'm stumped. Is there an IDSDM card for the T130? If so, do you know what the part number is?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @saenzfco

I checked some manuals and found that no IDSDM is supported for PowerEdge T130 server.
Sd v flash card can be installed which is optional.

Refer the below link at pg no. 84 for more details.

Hello, I'm afraid there isn't a Dell part for this. Sorry I can't be of help this time. Respectfully,

@S- bha11​ Thank you for the prompt reply.  I also read thar part of the manual, but it explicitly references an internal dual SD module controller and what it does when it detects a problem.  My guess is that there was an intention of making one for the T130 (as the motherboard does have a slot labeled 'IDSDM') but the module was never produced.

@DELL-Young E​ Thank you for looking into this.  I'm afraid you're right.  I think I looked at the pictures of all the modules out there an none of them seem to fit the T130.  I think they never made one for it.

@saenzfco​   Hello, Can you share me the link in the manual where it says internal dual SD for this server. Just so that i can take a look. Thanks.

@S- bha11​ Yes. It's in the Dell PowerEdge T130 Owner's Manual: The motherboard image and ports list are on pages 104-105, Table 19, Item 24. The micro-sd troubleshooting, including a reference to the IDSDM, is on pages 114-115.
