I/O expansion options
The RD450 supports up to six slots, depending on the riser cards installed and the number of processors
installed. With one CPU, three slots are available with two riser cards (slots 1, 2, and 5). The slots are
numbered as follows:
1. PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) full-height half-length slot (riser 1)
2. PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) full-height half-length slot (riser 1)
3. PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) Low Profile slot (riser 2, requires CPU 2)
4. PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) Low Profile slot (riser 2, requires CPU 2)
5. PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) Low Profile slot (riser 2)
6. PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) Low Profile slot (requires CPU 2)
The following figure shows the location of the slots, as seen from the rear of the server.
Figure 6. Slot numbering
To use three slots (slots 1, 2 and 5) with only one CPU, you will need to install two riser cards. Note that
riser 2 will only have slot 5 active; slots 3 and 4 cannot be used.
Slot 6 is not part of a riser and is connected directly to the system board.
The ordering information for the riser card is shown in the following table. Riser 1 and riser 2 are the same
part number.
