Installing an Expansion Card

There are two riser cards available from HP for this product. One has a PCI slot and the other has a PCI Express x1 slot. Both cards have a slot designated for the Powered Serial Port expansion card.

CAUTION: The Powered Serial Port expansion card slot on the riser card looks very similar to a PCI Express x1 expansion card slot. Do not attempt to insert a PCI Express x1 expansion card into the Powered Serial Port expansion card slot and do not attempt to insert a Powered Serial Port expansion card into a PCI Express x1 expansion card slot
