Expansion Cards

The system contains five 32-bit PCI expansion slots (one shared with the RAID slot) and one 32-bit AGP Pro50 (4X) slot (desktop chassis) or one
AGP Pro110 (4X) slot (mini tower chassis). If you use an AGP Pro110 or Pro50 card, it occupies the AGP slot and may occupy PCI slots 1 and 2.
See Figure 2 and

Figure 3

for examples of the cards that occupy these slots.
