Expansion bus specifications
The PowerEdge R440 system supports PCI express (PCIe) generation three expansion cards, which must be installed on the
system board using expansion card risers. The R440 system supports four types of expansion card risers.
● ○
LOM riser - One x8 PCIe Gen 3 for OCP form factor cards - connected to Processor1
○
Right riser - One x16 PCIe Gen3 for low-profile half-length cards or One x16 PCIe Gen3 for full height half-length cards -
connected to Processor1
○
Left riser - One x16 PCIe Gen3 for low-profile half-length cards - connected to Processor2
○
Internal riser - One x8 PCIe Gen3 for low-profile half-length cards - connected to Processor1
