PCI-X expansion cage option
The PCI-X expansion cage option converts one PCI Express slot into two PCI-X slots for additional expansion
board capability. The PCI-X expansion cage does not support expansion boards with internal cabling

This option provides health monitoring of the riser fans which appear as fans 5 and 6.
In addition, both expansion boards installed in the PCI-X expansion cage appear as slots 1 and 2.
