you remove the PCI Express riser-card assembly and the PCI-X riser-card assembly. Otherwise, the
active power management event signal will be disabled by the system-board logic, and the Wake on LAN

power management event signal will be enabled by the system-board logic.
• The server provides two PCI riser-card slots on the system board. The following information indicates the
riser-card slots and the type of adapters that the riser cards support:
– If you want to install a PCI Express or PCI-X adapter, you must order the PCI riser-card option.
– PCI riser slot 1. This slot supports only low-profile adapters.
– PCI riser slot 2. This slot supports full-height, half-length adapters.
The following table lists the supported configurations for the PCI riser-card slots.
