*Slots 3 and 4 require second CPU.
1:If a second graphics card is used with a High Performance GPU Compute card, place the High Performance GPU Compute card in Slot 6 and the second graphics in the alternate slot(s).
2:If a Controller card is being used with a High Performance GPU Compute card or second graphics card, place the High Performance GPU Compute card/graphics card in Slot 6 and the RAID card in the alternate slot(s).
NOTE: Slot sequenced from the rear I/O aperture to the board edge.
