Graphic card option
The server supports up to three graphic card options. The server supports up to two double-wide graphic
cards.
For optimal performance, HP recommends that you install graphic card options in PCI slots 3, 6, or 8.
HP recommends the following:
• If the graphic card is populated in PCI slot 3, do not use PCI slot 2.
• If a single-wide graphic card is populated in PCI slot 8, do not use PCI slot 9.
• In a single-processor configuration, HP recommends installing the graphic card in PCI slot 3.
• In a two-processor configuration, HP recommends installing the graphic card in PCI slot 6.
• If a third graphic card is installed, HP recommends installing the third graphic card in PCI slot 8.
