Expansion card configuration table
Expansion cards require I/O space for Legacy Booting and for OS running. Due
to the limitation of I/O space, see "Baseboard D3144, CPUMEMR D3145, PCIR
D3146 for PRIMERGY RX900 S2 Technical Manual", the basic rules for
installing expansion cards are:
1. Begin with the installation of the SAS and SAS RAID controllers in order of
I/O space assignment order.
2. Continue with the installation of the expansion cards for LAN and FC into the
PCIe slots.
