What is the maximum number of NVMe drives supported by the Oracle 7064634?

The 7064634 supports up to eight NVMe disk cages through its four internal SAS SFF-8643 ports. Each port can connect to a dual-drive cage, enabling eight total NVMe devices in supported server configurations. Actual capacity depends on the specific server model and backplane configuration.

Is this card compatible with Oracle X5 and X6 server families?

Yes, the 7064634 is compatible with Oracle X5-2, X5-2L, X6-2, X6-2M, and X6-2L servers. The low-profile, low-bracket design fits standard PCIe x8 slots in these platforms. Verify your specific server model documentation for PCIe slot availability and firmware support.

What data transfer rate does each SAS port provide?

Each of the four SAS SFF-8643 ports delivers 6 Gbps data transfer rate, providing approximately 750 MB/s per port. With four ports, the card supports aggregate throughput of approximately 3 GB/s, sufficient for multi-drive NVMe configurations in enterprise storage applications.

Does the 7064634 require additional cables or adapters?

The card includes double SAS cables for port connectivity. You will need SAS-to-NVMe adapter cables or enclosures compatible with SFF-8643 connectors to connect NVMe drives. Verify cable specifications with your storage enclosure manufacturer for compatibility.

What is the physical form factor and weight?

The 7064634 is a low-profile, low-bracket PCIe card with a shipping weight of 0.30 kg and item weight of 0.20 kg. The compact form factor ensures compatibility with 1U and 2U server chassis without requiring custom mounting or modifications.

Can multiple 7064634 cards be installed in a single server?

Yes, multiple cards can be installed if the server has available PCIe x8 slots. However, verify your server's PCIe slot configuration and firmware support for multi-card deployments. Consult Oracle server documentation for specific slot availability and any restrictions.
