Information on using expansion cards
Slots for expansion cards
You can find information on which expansion card you can install in a given slot under
"Technical specifications of the expansion card slots (Page 153)".
Requirements for expansion cards
•
You can find the permitted dimensions for expansion cards under "Dimension drawing of
the expansion cards (Page 164)". To rule out contact problems and malfunctions, do not
use any expansion cards that exceed the maximum permissible height.
•
For expansion cards with a lower mounting height (low-profile expansion card), three
long card retainers are enclosed with the device. Use these instead of the long card
retainers installed in the device.
•
Long PCI/PCIe expansion cards must be equipped with an extender so that they can be
introduced into the guide rails.
Long expansion cards are only supported in a device with a standard enclosure.
