4.12.2 Single-slot riser card

Additional PCIe cards can be mounted by using a 1U single-slot riser cage. The

1U riser cage provides one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot full-height/half-length. The x16 slot

that is provided by the riser (see Table 4-24) can be used to connect a

ServeRAID controller or any of the other adapters that are listed in Table 4-25 on

page 99 and Table 4-27 on page 101.
