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.
