Expansion Card Installation Guidelines

Your system supports five PCIe Generation 2 expansion cards. To identify the

expansion slots see Figure 6-1.

• The expansion slots support one full-length, and four half-length cards.
• The expansion-card slot is not hot-swappable.

CAUTION:

To ensure proper cooling, only one of the two expansion cards

can have a power consumption of greater than 15 W (up to 25 W maximum),
not including the integrated storage controller.

Table 3-2 provides a guide for installing expansion cards to ensure proper

cooling and mechanical fit. The expansion cards with the highest priority

should be installed first using the slot priority indicated. All other

expansion cards should be installed in card priority and slot priority order.
