[1] vFlash Secure Digital (SD) cards are not supported.
[2] USB CD Drive required for Avance install and VCD creation on servers without an internal optical drive.
[3] Refer to Vendor documentation to determine supported SFP+ modules and cables
Remark #1 [1] Internal SSD/SD drives not supported.
Is it means about PCIe connected SSD ? or PERC connected disk type SSD? or both?
[1] refers to the internal vFlash SD card, which Avance does not support. Solid state drives (SSD) are supported, the same as traditional hard drives. However, PCI-E SSD drives are not supported on Avance on any hardware platform.
