Left PCIe card or cards.
There can be two PCIe cards per side of the I/O expansion module.

the same slots in the new I/O expansion module.
Installing the I/O expansion module
To install the I/O expansion module, you must perform a specific sequence of
steps.
Procedure
1. Open the new I/O expansion module side panels, as needed.
2.
Remove the card filler plates for any slots where you will be installing PCIe
cards.
3. Install the individual PCIe cards into the proper I/O expansion module slots by
aligning each PCIe card with the target slot, and then gently seating it into the
socket. Make sure that you install the PCIe cards in the same locations in the
new I/O expansion module as where they were in the old I/O expansion
module.
4. Close the side panels and tighten the side panel thumbscrews.
5. Align the I/O expansion module with the bottom opening of the bottom bay of
the target chassis (labeled B on the bay), and gently slide the I/O expansion
module all the way into the chassis using the cam handle. The I/O expansion
module cam handle begins to engage prior to fully seating into the chassis. Use
the cam handle to fully seat the module into the chassis.
6. Push the cam handle all the way to the closed position, and then tighten the
thumbscrew on the cam handle.
7. Reinstall the cable management arms, and recable your I/O expansion module.
