Install PCI-X 0-1 and PCIe 2-3 Cards
Before You Begin
Note - The maximum power of any one PCI card is 25 watts. Only PCI-X Slot 4 and PCIe Slot 5 accept long cards. PCIe Slots 2 and 3 are an exception and support 75 Watt PCIe cards. However, only one 75 Watt card can be installed in the server at one time. It is suggested to install the 75 Watt card in Slot 2 for better cooling.
