MSI S2206-04 Dual EPYC 24-bay 2U Server Schematic
Storage options include two internal M.2 slots, and sixteen front-accessible hot-swap bays for U.2 NVMe SSDs, and eight front hot-swap bays for SATA SSDs. We generally recommend putting the OS on one of the M.2 slots and then using the easy-access bays in the front for storage as needed.
External connectivity consists of four USB ports (2 each in front and back) and a port for remote management. There are also two built-in 1G Ethernet ports, an OCP 3.0 slot for a dedicated NIC, and three PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for additional networking or other expansion cards.
