This 4.5U PowerEdge T560 configuration supports 8 NVMe drives and 8 SATA/SAS drives. Half of the NVMe drives connect directly to CPU1, and the other half connect directly to CPU2. All SAS/SATA drives connect to CPU1 through PERC11 with 1 x8 cable. This configuration also supports up to 2 GPUs. If 2 GPUs are in use, one GPU connects to CPU1 and the other to CPU2. A 1 GPU configuration connects to CPU1 only.
Customers who require high performance with 2 processors should use this configuration.
