*  For details of functions of each card, refer to the technical guide. 

*  The card performance described in the parentheses after the Product name indicates the maximum operation 

performance of the card. 

*  When the operation performance of a PCI card is higher than the PCI slot on the server, the PCI card operates 

with the performance of the PCI slot on the server.
