Slots for CPUs and Memory Modules
The R5300 G4X is designed with two CPU slots that support all of the Intel Ice Lake
CPUs on the Intel Whitley Server Platform. Each CPU provides eight memory channels,
and each memory channel contains two DIMM slots. Therefore, the R5300 G4X can ac-
commodate up to 32 DDR4 memory modules with the maximum rate of 3200 MHz.

Figure 2-10 NIC Configuration
Note
The above figure displays the ports in the RedHat system. For example, if a standard
PCIe card with two optical ports is installed in slot ⑤ of IO module 2, port 0 of the PCIe
card is displayed as ens5f0 and port 1 of the PCIe card is displayed as ens5f1 in the
system.
2.4 Hard Disk Configuration

The hard disks of the R5300 G4X are divided into front hard disks and rear hard disks in
accordance with their positions.
 Front hard disks
Front hard disks are installed in the front of the chassis. There are two types of hard
disk configurations:
→ Hard disks installed horizontally: Twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disks (compati-
ble with 2.5-inch hard disks) are supported. NVMe SSDs are supported.
→ Hard disks installed vertically: Eight, sixteen, twenty-four or twenty-five 2.5-inch
SAS/SATA hard disks are supported. NVMe SSDs are supported.
 Rear hard disks
Rear hard disks are installed in the slots provided by the IO modules on the rear pan-
el of the chassis. The hard disk configurations supported by each IO module are as
follows:
→ IO module 1: supports two 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disks. NVMe SSDs are sup-
ported.
→ IO module 2: supports two 2.5/3.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disks.
→ IO module 3: supports two 2.5/3.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disks.
→ IO module 4: supports two 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disks. NVMe SSDs are sup-
ported.
