Expansion cards and expansion card risers
An expansion card in the appliance is an add-on card that can be inserted into an expansion slot on the system board or riser
card to add enhanced functionality to the appliance through the expansion bus.
NOTE: A System Event Log (SEL) event is logged if an expansion card riser is unsupported or missing. It does not prevent
your appliance from turning on and no BIOS POST message or F1/F2 pause is displayed.
Expansion card installation guidelines
Depending on your system configuration, the following PCI Express (PCIe) generation 3 expansion cards are supported:
