Non-hot-plug PCI riser board slot definitions
Installing a riser cage in the primary or secondary PCIe connector determines which PCIe form factor can be supported.
Primary riser connector (processor 1 or the Southbridge)
| Riser cage PCIe slot and type | 3-slot riser cage* | 2-slot riser cage (Optional) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Full-length/Full-height (FL/FH) | PCIe3 x16 (8,4,2,1) | — |
| 2 - Half-length/Full-height (HL/FH) | PCIe3 x16 (8,4,2,1) | PCIe3 x16 (16,8,4,2,1) |
| 3 - Half-length/Full-height (HL/FH) | PCIe3 x8 (8,4,2,1) | PCIe3 x8 (8,4,2,1) |
*The server ships with one PCIe3 riser cage installed in the primary riser cage connector.
Secondary riser connector (processor 2 must be installed)
| Riser cage PCIe slot and type | 3-slot riser cage* |
|---|---|
| 4 - Full-length/Full-height (FL/FH) | PCIe3 x16 (16,8,4,2,1) |
| 5 - Half-length/Full-height (HL/FH) | PCIe3 x16 (16,8,4,2,1) |
| 6 - Half-length/Full-height (HL/FH) | PCIe3 x8 (8,4,2,1) |
*The server ships with one PCIe3 riser cage installed in the primary riser cage connector.
