10.3.1Notes on the modules

Notes on module specifications

The device is designed for use with modules conforming to ATX-/PCI-/PCIe specifications. The dimensions of the cards may not exceed the specified dimensions. If the height is exceeded, you may experience contact problems, malfunctions and difficulties with the assembly. The permitted dimensions of the modules are found in the dimensional drawings section.

Notice

The performance is limited for PCI modules with 5V supply voltage. The output of the modules may not exceed 25W in total.

Note about long PCI, PCIe modules

Before long modules can be inserted into the guide rails, they must be fitted with an extender (this should form part of the scope of supply of long modules).

Notes on the allocation of resources

Due to the number of functions on the motherboard, there are no reserved interrupts for PCI modules. If the new expansion module requires exclusive resources, you have to disable the functions on the motherboard. You will find notes on the allocated resources in the motherboard technical manual D2156-S on the supplied "Documentation and Drivers" CD.
