Expansion Card Installation Guidelines

Your system supports one or two x8 Gen2 PCIe expansion cards installed in connectors on two expansion-card risers.

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

•Both expansion slots support full-height, half-length cards.

•The expansion-card slots are not hot-swappable.

•PCI Express Generation 1 and Generation 2 expansion cards are supported in both slots.

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.
