NOTE: Both the processors must be installed to use riser 1 slots.
NOTE: Only a three-fourth length card is supported for the PCIe expansion card slot (slot 2) on riser 3.
NOTE: For a server with three PCIe cards, only Mini SAS HD third party cards are supported in slot 3. For a server with two
PCIe cards, only Mini SAS HD third party cards are supported in slot 1.
NOTE: You can install expansion cards only on one slot on riser 2.

The following table provides a guide for installing expansion cards to ensure proper cooling and mechanical fit. The expansion
cards with the highest priority must be installed first using the slot priority indicated. All other expansion cards must be installed
in card priority and slot priority order.
