Secondary riser connector - connected to processor 2 (processor 2 must be installed)

4

- FL/FH

PCIe2 or PCIe3 x16 (16, 8, 4, 2, 1)

 

 

 

5

- HL/FH

PCIe2 or PCIe3 x16 (16, 8, 4, 2, 1)

 

 

 

6

- HL/FH

FL/FH = full-length, full-height HL/FH = half-length, full-height

For PCIe slot power capabilities, riser board installation instructions, and riser cage installation instructions, see the user guide.

*PCIe slot 3 is connected to the southbridge, and runs at Gen2 signaling rate.

Notes:

"Primary" denotes the riser cage is installed in the primary riser connector.

"Secondary" denotes the riser cage is installed in the secondary riser connector.

Slots can generally run at 8 GT/s signaling rate in either PCIe2 or PCIe3 mode, depending on the capability of the installed processor.

Installing the riser cages listed in the table above in either the primary or secondary riser connectors determines the form factor of the PCI cards supported by those riser cages.

FL/FH denotes full-length, full-height. HL/FH denotes half-length, full-height. LP denotes low profile.
