Expansion Card Installation Guidelines

Your system supports up to eight PCI-Express (PCIe) expansion cards
installed in connectors on the system board (see Figure 3-10).

All slots support full-height, half-length cards.

Up to two 25-W cards are supported; the remaining cards must be 15-W
cards.

Slots 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 are x4 lane-width PCIe expansion slots.

Slots 3 and 4 are x8 lane-width PCIe expansion slots.

One expansion slot, labeled INT_STORAGE, is reserved for the system’s
SAS controller card.

If you are installing a Remote Access Control (RAC) card, it must be
installed in the special card slot marked RAC_CONN. See "RAC Card" on
