Card Locations (SPARC T5-8 Servers)
The following figures show the cards that will be used for the physical connections for the SPARC T5-8 server in the Full Rack and Half Rack versions of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8.
Note - For the Half Rack version of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8, eight of the 16 PCIe slots are occupied with either InfiniBand HCAs or 10-GbE NICs. However, all 16 PCIe slots are accessible, so the remaining eight PCIe slots are available for optional Fibre Channel PCIe cards. See Using an Optional Fibre Channel PCIe Card for more information.
