SD vFlash card (optional)
An SD vFlash card is a Secure Digital (SD) card that plugs into the SD vFlash card slot in the iDRAC port card. It provides
persistent on-demand local storage and a custom deployment environment that enables automation of server configuration,
scripts, and imaging. It emulates USB device(s). For more information, see the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller User's
Guide at Dell.com/idracmanuals.
Removing the optional SD vFlash card
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
2. Locate the SD vFlash card slot at the back of the chassis.
To remove the SD vFlash card, push the SD vFlash card inward to release it, and pull the SD vFlash card from the SD vFlash
card slot.

Internal dual SD module (optional)
The Internal Dual SD Module (IDSDM) card provides two SD card slots. This card offers the following features:
● Dual card operation — maintains a mirrored configuration by using SD cards in both the slots and provides redundancy.
NOTE:
When the Redundancy option is set to Mirror Mode in the Integrated Devices screen of System Setup, the
information is replicated from one SD card to another.
● Single card operation — single card operation is supported, but without redundancy.
Removing an internal SD card
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system section.
CAUTION:

troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or
telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by
