Controllers
The ThinkSystem DE6000F controller enclosures ship with two DE6000 64GB controllers. A controller
provides interfaces for host connectivity, management, and internal drives, and it runs storage management
software. Each DE6000 controller ships with 64 GB memory for a system total of 128 GB.
Each controller has one expansion slot for a host interface card (HIC).
The following host interfaces can be added to the ThinkSystem DE6000F controller enclosures with HICs:
8x 12 Gb SAS x4 (Mini-SAS HD SFF-8644) ports (4 ports per HIC) for SAS connectivity.
8x 10/25 GbE SFP28 ports (4 ports per HIC) for 10/25 Gb iSCSI connectivity (require optical
transceivers or DAC cables that should be purchased for the HICs).
8x 8/16/32 Gb FC SFP+ ports (4 ports per HIC) for FC or NVMe/FC connectivity (require optical
transceivers that should be purchased for the HICs).
4x 25/40/100 GbE RoCE QSFP28 ports (2 ports per HIC) for NVMe/RoCE connectivity (require
optical transceivers or DAC cables that should be purchased for the HIC).
Each DE6000 64GB controller also provide two 12 Gb SAS x4 expansion ports (Mini-SAS HD SFF-8644
connectors) for the attachment of the ThinkSystem DE Series expansion units.
