Note: The 2x3 connector is intended to be used only when one adapter is installed in the first x16 slot (the
up-most slot in the following figure), either requiring 225 W or 300 W of power. The location of the 2x3
connector prevents an adapter from being installed in the other x16 slot.

The Half-length I/O Book installs flush with the Primary I/O Book at the rear of the server. The Full-length
I/O Book, when installed, adds a 99 mm (3.9 in.) mechanical extension to the base length dimension of the
chassis.
The following figure shows a Full-length I/O Book and a Half-length I/O Book installed in the server.
