• If FC EC46 is driving the internal DVD, it must be installed in the I/O expansion drawer that is closest to
the system. The system and IO expansion drawer must be in the same rack.
Note: If slot P1-C2 of the rst node contains a controller adapter (CC), it must be the rst option to
consider for wiring the module with the USB adapter driving the internal DVD. If it is a PCIe3 6-slot
fanout module, install FC EC46 in slot Px-C3 of the PCIe3 6-slot fanout module.
• Do not attempt to install x16 adapters in x8 slots. Doing so can damage the x16 connectors in the EMX0
PCIe3 expansion drawer.
