Upgrade DL380Gen9 with Expander Card 726821-B21

HolgerMehl · ‎11-17-2017

Hello,

I want to upgrade a DL380Gen9 server with the Expander Card 726821-B21 but I can find no instructions in which slot I need to install the card. The second drive bay must also be installed. Instructions for the wiring would not be bad either. Can someone help me there ? regards Holger
