Expansion Card Installation Guidelines

Your system supports one x16 Gen 1 or Gen2 PCIe expansion card installed in connectors on an expansion-card riser.

CAUTION: Expansion cards can only be installed in the slots on the expansion- card riser. Do not attempt to install expansion cards directly into the riser connector on the system board.

•The expansion slot supports full-height, half-length cards.

•The expansion-card slot is not hot-swappable.

•PCI Express Generation 1 and Generation 2 expansion cards are supported in the slot.

CAUTION: To ensure proper cooling, only one of the two expansion cards can have a power consumption of greater than 15W (up to 25W maximum), 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.
