The switches map the mezzanine cards to the PCIe slots on the enclosure's system board. There are five PCIe low
profile slots on the system board and three full-height, full-length PCIe slots on the PCIe riser. All the PCIe slots can be
mapped to the PCIe mezzanine cards on the server modules to provide I/O expansion for the system:
PCIe mezzanine Fabric B and Fabric C cards on each server module are mapped to the PCIe switches which further map
to the PCIe slots and the Shared PERC slots on the enclosure's system board.

NOTE: For information on the specifications of the supported PCIe cards, see
