Expansion Cards
Your system provides one half-length (slot 1) and five full-length (slots 2-6) expansion card slots
configured as follows:
Slot 1 and 2 are
64-bit, 133-MHz (3.3-V) PCI-X
expansion slots. These slots will accommodate 133-MHz,
100-MHz, 66-Hz, and 33-MHz PCI cards and PCI-X cards.
Slot 3 is a x8 lane-width PCIe expansion slot.
Slots 4, 5, and 6 are x4 lane-width PCIe expansion slots.
NOTE: The optional SAS controller card supporting up to four SAS or SATA drives should only be installed
into slot 4.
