PCIe expansion
With 32 PCIe lanes available from each E7 v2 processor in the system, the R920 provides greatly
expanded PCIe slot capability over previous-generation PowerEdge servers. Dell designed the R920
to be PCIe-3.0 compliant to take full advantage of the processor capabilities.
PCIe slots
PCIe connectivity is integrated with the processor in that the number of processors in a system
impacts the number of PCIe slots and the bandwidth of each PCIe slot.
