NOTE: The PCIE_G3_X8 and PCIE_G3_X16 are the two different types of risers supported on R430
systems. You can install an expansion card on the system board only using expansion-card riser.
NOTE: The expansion cards are not hot-swappable.
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.
