Servicing PCIe Cards
PCIe cards provide additional I/O and other functionality. The PCIe cards install into the card slots located across the rear of the server. See Component Locations (Motherboard, Memory, and PCIe Cards). Additionally, there is an internal HBA PCIe card. See Servicing the Internal HBA PCIe Card.
