Oracle ZFS Storage ZS4-4 PCIe I/O Cards

The Oracle ZFS Storage ZS4-4 base configuration contains the following PCIe cards:

  • One 8-port SAS-2 internal HBA (slot 2)

  • Two 4-port (4x4) SAS external HBAs (slot 6 and slot 7)

  • One cluster interface card (slot 4)

The following figure shows the PCIe I/O slot numbers.
