All the slots are x8 connectors.

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 3-4 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.
