About 7625 Backplane.
The backplane we are using now is 8X. Can I replace this backplane with a 24X backplane? I remember that when we made this Server Configuration so that we could install a GPU in the future, the bakcplane above 8X did not accept. If we install a 24X backplane, can we still install a GPU in the future?

Hello,
Field upgrade of backplane is not generally supported. We don't have any Kits for this.
I'm not sure which backplane you currently have. This sales part number 379-BDSX did not come up in the service database.
The R7625 server with a 24x2.5" NVMe backplane does support GPU installation.
I would recommend to contact Sales and they can gather the criteria and supply you with options.
You may try this configurator to see if you can make the configuration you want then you will know the components you need to get.
There are also other considerations such as larger power supply
