Networking

The PowerEdge C6525 is installed with one Broadcom BCM54210S-Gigabit Ethernet controller as an independent Ethernet interface device. When installing the OCP 3.0 Card you can raise the networking capabilities from 1GbE to 25 Gb network speed.

Storage Controller

The PowerEdge C6525 supports multiple storage configurations for numerous type of workloads. The C6400 chassis supports the following configuration types:

No hard drives in a no-backplane configuration.
24 x 2.5-inch direct backplane configuration with up to six SAS/SATA drives for each PowerEdge C6525 node.
24 x 2.5-inch NVMe backplane configuration with up to six drives for each PowerEdge C6525 node out of which 2 drives can be NVMe drives. Both the drives can support up to Gen3 speed.
12 x 3.5-inch direct backplane configuration with up to 3 SAS/SATA drives for each PowerEdge C6525 node.
