Expansion card installation guidelines

NOTE:The expansion-cards are not hot-swappable.

The following table provides guidelines for installing expansion cards to ensure proper cooling and mechanical fit. The expansion cards with the highest priority should be installed first using the slot priority indicated. All the other expansion cards should be installed in the card priority and slot priority order.

Table 1. Expansion card configurationsThe table below shows the supported expansion card configurations.
Riser Configurations (RC)	Expansion card risers	Number of processors	PERC type supported	Rear storage possible	x8 CPU 0	x16 CPU 0	x8 CPU 1	x16 CPU 1
RC0-B300 PSRBB	No Riser	2	N/A	No	0	2	0	2
RC0-B200 PSBB	No Riser	2	N/A	No	0	6	0	6

Table 2. Expansion card configurations for B200 PSBB and B300 PSRBBThe table below shows the supported expansion card configurations.
