IBM Flex System x220 Compute Node 26
Storage host bus adapters
The following table lists storage HBAs supported by the x220 server. Adapters can be installed in either
slot. However, compatible switches must be installed in the corresponding bays of the chassis. All
adapters can also be installed in the PCIe Expansion Node.

* For models with the Embedded 1 Gb Ethernet controller standard, the Compute Node Fabric Connector occupies
the same space as an I/O adapter in I/O slot 1, so you have to remove the Fabric Connector if you plan to install an
adapter in I/O slot 1.
