Slot 1: Target card

(already fixed in the chassis)

Slot 2: PCIe ×8 slot

(open-type; supports PCIe card ×16/×8/×4/×1)

RAID card is recommended to be installed in this slot 

    as it’s closest to backplane’s connectors.

Slot 3: PCIe ×8 slot

(closed-type; supports PCIe card ×8/×4/×1)

LED5 for SLOT1

As LED5 illuminates solid blue light, it indicates NP960AG3 target card 
in SLOT#1 is in Gen3 mode. As LED5 blinking blue light, NP960AG3 
target card in SLOT#1 is in Gen2 mode.

LED6 for SLOT2

As LED6 illuminates solid blue light, it indicates the PCIe card in SLOT#2 
is in Gen3 mode. As LED6 blinking blue light, PCIe card in SLOT#2 is in 
Gen2 mode.

LED7 for SLOT3

As LED7 illuminates solid blue light, it indicates the PCIe card in SLOT#3 
is in Gen3 mode. As LED7 blinking blue light, PCIe card in SLOT#3 is in 
Gen2 mode.

LED8 for SLOT4

As LED8 illuminates solid blue light, it indicates the PCIe card in SLOT#4 
is in Gen3 mode. As LED8 blinking blue light, PCIe card in SLOT#4 is in 
Gen2 mode.

Slot 4: PCIe ×8 slot

(open-type; supports PCIe card ×16/×8/×4/×1)

3.  PCIe Expansion Layout

NOTE:

The host computer should have at least one PCIe ×8 
or ×16 slot. There may be PCIe slot which is ×8 or ×16 
physically but ×4 electrically within the host; please 
always install the host card in PCIe slot ×8/×16 electrically 
in the host computer. Check motherboard’s user manual 

to identify the specification.
