NOTE: Both the processors must be installed to use riser 1 slots.
NOTE: Only a three-fourth length card is supported for the PCIe expansion card slot (slot 2) on riser 3.
NOTE: For a server with three PCIe cards, only Mini SAS HD third party cards are supported in slot 3. For a server with two
PCIe cards, only Mini SAS HD third party cards are supported in slot 1.
NOTE: You can install expansion cards only on one slot on riser 2.
NOTE: Both the processors must be installed to use the x16 link on the riser 2 slot.
The following table provides a guide for installing expansion cards to ensure proper cooling and mechanical fit. The expansion
cards with the highest priority must be installed first using the slot priority indicated. All other expansion cards must be installed
in card priority and slot priority order.

Network Daughter Card
The Dell PowerEdge R630 offer balanced, scalable I/O capabilities, including integrated PCIe 3.0- capable expansion slots.
Dell Select Network Adapters, NDCs of Dell, let you choose the right network fabric without using a valuable PCI slot. Select
the speed, technology, vendor, and other options, such as switch-independent partitioning, which will let you share and manage
bandwidth on 10 GbE connections.
