5-7 Adding PCI Cards
With the optional RSC-RR1U-E8 riser card installed into a PCI-E slot, the 5018A-
MLTN4 can support a full-height half-length PCI Express expansion card. Refer to
Chapter 6 Section 7 for details.
Note: Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of memory that
remains available for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM is used.
The reduction in memory availability is disproportional. See the following table
for details.
