PE3RR PCI Expansion| 72

11.1.4 Combination Configurations

Depending on your business requirements, and your physical space limitations, you can add additional Expansion System in multiple
configurations, such as these. These combinations are only limited by the available slots and/or slot types: PCIe or PCI.

You will need to keep an eye on your system performance and make any adjustments that may be required, either to PCI card location or to
Expansion System configuration, to obtain maximum performance.
