The server is designed to support both full height and low profile PCIe cards. Using PCIe risers, the full height PCI slot configuration supports up to 4 full height and 2 half height PCIe cards. The 9-slot PCIe half height configuration supports up to 9 half height PCIe cards. See Back Panel Components for PCIe slot numbering and supported PCIe configurations.

• All card slots support Half Height, Half Length (HHHL) PCIe cards (Low profile short) at PCIe Gen4 or Gen5.
• Four riser card slots support Full Height, Full Length (FHFL) PCIe cards at PCIe Gen5.
• All PCIe card slots are 75W capable slots. All of the PCIe slots comply with the PCI Express 5.0 specification and can accommodate 75 Watt PCIe cards.
• All PCIe card slots support persistent power.
• All Add-in-Card (AIC) slots support Hot-Plug. ^Foot 1
• PCIe card slots 1 through 4 are nonfunctional in single-processor systems.
• The Full Height card chassis configuration uses two PCIe riser cards supporting two Full height 10.5 inch double width GPU cards at x16 PCIe Gen4.
• Each riser also supports a PCIe Gen3 Pensando Ortano/Elba Server Adapter, DSC-200V, 2x200GbE, Dual QSFP56 Smart NIC card.
• PCIe Gen5 card slots can be up to four x16 PCIe slots, or up to six x8 PCIe slots, depending upon the PCIe card slots 6 and 7 motherboard cabling option.
• Full Height PCIe card risers support a 150W SmartNIC in slots 4 and 8, and a 400W GPU in slots 2 and 6.
