in the host.

2 Connect the Dell X410 HIC port to the C410x, with the provided cables.

C410x PCIe Expansion Chassis

For more information, see the C410x Hardware Owner's Manual at

support.dell.com/manuals.

NOTE:

Due to limited system resources for PCIe devices, the C410x does not support

the 8:1 mode in the M610x, R710, and R410 systems. Ensure that the C410x port

configuration mode is set to either 2:1 or 4:1 mode.

To ensure proper operation with the host platform, follow specific power

sequencing requirements.
