Expansion cards and expansion card riser

An expansion card in the system is an add-on card that can be inserted into an expansion slot on the system board or riser card to add
enhanced functionality to the system through the expansion bus.
NOTE: A System Event Log (SEL) event is logged if an expansion card riser is unsupported or missing. It does not prevent your
system from turning on and no BIOS POST message or F1/F2 pause is displayed.
