PCI Expansion Cards
Riser cards on chassis brackets allow you to add PCI expansion cards. The total number
of expansion cards depends on the model in the 2029U-E Series. All expansion cards are
PCIexpress 3.0. For all models:
•
RSC-R2UW-4E8 supports four standard size PCIe x8 expansion cards (5-8).
•
RSC-R1UW-E8R supports one low-profile x8 expansion card (4)
Additional PCI capability depends on which Ultra riser card is installed in your model (see
the table below). For details on installing GPUs, see Appendix F.
