NOTE:
To use PCIe slots 1 through 4 on the riser, both the processors must be installed.
NOTE:
The expansion-card slots are not hot-swappable.
The following table provides guidelines 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.
