• One PCI-E 3.0 x8 open end slot
• One MicroLP slot (MicroLP upgradeable)
• Two M.2 PCI-E 3.0 x4 slot with SATA3 support, M-Key 2280, 22110
The MicroLP expansion module is inserted into a riser card and secured to two brackets as
shown below. This assembly is inserted into the expansion slot on the motherboard and the
rear bracket is secured to the rear of the node chassis.
