The R720 and R720xd provide greatly expanded PCIe slot capability over their predecessor servers.
This is made possible by the 40 PCIe lanes available from each processor in the system. Two
processors are required in the system to enable all PCIe slots. The R720 and R720xd have been
designed to be PCIe 3.0 compliant in order to take full advantage of the processor capabilities. Table
16 details the R720 and R720xd PCIe slots.
One x16 full-length, full-height
Three x8 full-length, full-height
Three x8 half-length, half-height
Two x16 full-length, full-height
One x8 full-length, full-height
Three x8 half-length, half-height

In a single-processor configuration, slots 1–4 are not usable.
The R720 and R720xd support a variety of PCIe expansion cards. Table 17 lists the supported add-in
NICs and HBAs for the R720 and R720xd.
