(DDR4 SO-DIMM)
PCI Express x16 Slot
Install a PCI Express x16 graphics card that complies to the PCI Express specifications into the
PCI Express x16 slot. To install a graphics card into the x16 slot, align the graphics card to the
socket and perpendicularly to the board, be cautious in aligning the locations of notch and key,
and then press the card down firmly until it is completely seated. The retaining clip of the slot
will close up automatically to hold the graphics card in place.

PCI expansion card or a customized riser card designed for only 2 PCI slots expansion (for low
profile PCI card only) into the PCI slot.
M.2 Socket
The M.2 socket is the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF) which is designed to support mul-
tiple modules and make the M.2 more suitable in application for solid-state storage.
DDR4 SO-DIMM for SEM2500/SEM2510 (opt.)
This DDR4 SO-DIMM socket is to support SEM2500/
SEM2510 module for additional IPMI management, BMC, and
VGA output.
