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 the card priority and slot priority order.
NOTE: The x16 link width riser cards on the expansion card riser are cabled to the system board.
NOTE: The expansion card slots are not hot swappable.
