Expansion cards and expansion card risers
NOTE: A system event entry is logged in the iDRAC Lifecycle Controller if an expansion card riser is not supported or
missing. It does not prevent your system from turning on. However, if a F1/F2 pause occurs with an error message,
see Troubleshooting expansion cards section in the Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers Troubleshooting Guide at www.dell.com/
poweredgemanuals.
Expansion card installation guidelines
The following table describes the supported expansion cards:

Riser-1B (2U riser) Slot 2 Processor 1 Full Height Full Length x16
Riser-1B (2U riser) Slot 3 Processor 1 Full Height Full Length x16
Riser-1A (low profile
riser right)
Slot 2 Processor 1 Low Profile Half Length x16
Riser-2 (low profile
riser left)
Slot 3 Processor 1 Low Profile Half Length x16
NOTE: The expansion-card slots are not hot-swappable.
The following table provides guidelines for installing expansion cards to ensure proper cooling and mechanical fit. The expansion
cards with the highest priority should be installed first using the slot priority indicated. All the other expansion cards should be
installed in the card priority and slot priority order.
