Expansion Slots

6-8 Adding Expansion Cards

Each node drawer accepts three expansion cards--two full height, full length cards

and one low profile card. That allows a total of six for the chassis.

A riser card is necessary to mount the expansion cards. The riser card is preinstalled
in each node.
