The server supports up to two PCIe riser boards. Each PCIe riser board holds up to three PCIe cards
each. 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.
The optional 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 x16 slot.
