4-5 Installing Expansion Cards
For the LP models, such as SC826BE1C-R920LPB, the chassis slots are vertical
and allow the addition of low profile expansion cards. For the W models such as
SC826BE1C-R920WB, and the U models such as SC826E16-R1200UB, the chas-
sis slots are horizontal. The U models allow a Supermicro universal I/O (UIO) card
in addition to expansion cards.
The motherboard must be installed before expansion cards.
