CONFIGURING the SERVER
Approved Configurations
(1) No RAID controller plug-in card
■ If you did not choose a plug-in RAID controller (for example, you are using the mezzanine
card or the interated RAID controller on the motherboard), you can select up to two PCIe
option cards listed in
Table 7.
(2) One RAID controller plug-in card
■ If you selected a plug-in RAID controller, select one of the optional PCIe cards listed in
Table 7.
Caveats
■ There are two PCIe slots. One is a half-height slot and the other is a full-height slot. All of
the PCIe adapter cards are half-height cards, with the exception of the Virtual Interface
Card (VIC) (N2XX-ACPCI01), which is a full-height card.
— If you selected a plug-in RAID controller into the half-height slot in STEP 4 SELECT
RAID CONFIGURATION, only the full-height slot is available.
— Only a single VIC card may be installed and it must be installed in a full-height slot.
— All cards will fit in either slot, except the VIC card, which must be installed in the
full-height slot (slot 6).
■ To help ensure that your operating system is compatible with the card you have selected,
check the Hardware Compatibility List at this URL:

NOTE: If a plug-in RAID controller card is installed, any optional PCIe card you select
will be installed in the full-height slot. RAID controllers are always installed in the
half-height slot.
