NOTE:
The FX5800 graphics card occupies two expansion slots on the system board. HP
recommends placing the keyed components of the card in the primary graphics slot. To identify a
PCI Express (PCIe)-x16 expansion slot, see the service label on the workstation access panel.

For optimal cooling, keep the expansion slot adjacent to the fan free or filled with an
expansion card that does not obstruct the fan inlet of the FX5800 card.
