Riser 1 supplies slots 1, 2, and 3, and Riser 2 supplies slots 5 and 6. The slots that are available for use depend on
the number of riser cards that are installed and whether the second processor is installed, as shown in the
following table.

Serial port upgrade kit
ThinkSystem COM Port Upgrade Kit 7Z17A02577 AUSL 1
The COM Port Upgrade Kit, part number 7Z17A02577, is used for mounting the external serial port on the rear of
the SR650. This option includes the bracket and the cable. The COM Port option is mounted in place of one of the
PCIe slots 1 - 6, and that PCIe slot cannot be used.
Network adapters
The SR650 server supports up to four onboard network ports with optional LOM cards that use the Intel Ethernet
Connection X722 1/10 GbE technology integrated into the Intel C624 Platform Controller Hub (PCH). The server
also supports ML2 adapters that are installed in the custom ML2 slot provided by an ML2 riser card. The LOM
cards and ML2 network adapters support direct connectivity to the XClarity Controller via the Network Controller
Sideband Interface (NSCI) for out-of-band systems management.
