Installing expansion boards
The server supports up to two PCIe riser boards. Each PCIe riser board holds up to three PCIe
cards. The standard riser board configuration contains one riser board with one full-length, full-height
PCIe x8 slot, and two half-length, full-height PCIe x4 slots. The second board contains one full-length,
full-height PCIe x8 slot, and two half-length, half-height PCIe x4 slots.
Optionally, you can purchase a riser board that contains two full-length PCIe x8 slots.
