Expansion Cards Expansion Card Installation Guidelines Your system supports up to four PCIe Generation 2 cards. To identify the expansion slots, see Figure 6-1. Observe the following notes and guidelines regarding the expansion-card slots: • The expansion-card slots are not hot-swappable. • PCI Express Generation 2 and Generation 1 expansion cards are supported in all slots. • Slot 2 supports full-length expansion cards; slots 1, 3, and 4 support halflength expansion cards. • The system supports up to two SAS or PERC expansion cards to manage external storage. CAUTION: To ensure proper cooling, no more than two of the four expansion cards can have a power consumption of greater than 15 W (up to 25 W maximum each), not including the integrated storage controller. • Table 3-1 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.

Expansion Card Installation Guidelines
Your system supports up to four PCIe Generation 2 cards. To identify the
expansion slots, see Figure 6-1.
Observe the following notes and guidelines regarding the expansion-card
slots:
•
The expansion-card slots are not hot-swappable.
•
PCI Express Generation 2 and Generation 1 expansion cards are supported
in all slots.
•
Slot 2 supports full-length expansion cards; slots 1, 3, and 4 support half-
length expansion cards.
•
The system supports up to two SAS or PERC expansion cards to manage
external storage.
CAUTION:
To ensure proper cooling, no more than two of the four expansion
cards can have a power consumption of greater than 15 W (up to 25 W maximum
each), not including the integrated storage controller.
•
Table 3-1 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.
