Expansion Card Riser Overview
The server has two expansion slots:
Slot 1, which accepts full-length (9 inch) PCI-E or PCI-X cards •
Slot 2, which accepts half-length (6.6 inch) PCI-E cards •
Expansion slot 1

Expansion slot 2

To accommodate expansion card installation, the server uses two types of PCI riser:
A PCI-E riser card, which can go in either slot, and accepts only PCI-E cards •
A PCI-X riser can go in slot 1, and accepts only PCI-X cards •
Connector on PCI-X riser Connector on PCI-E riser
When replacing a riser card, you must transfer the installed PCI card to the replacement riser card.
