NOTE: To use PCIe slots 1 through 4 on the riser, both the processors must be installed.
NOTE: The expansion-card slots are not hot-swappable.
The following table provides guidelines for installing expansion cards to ensure proper cooling and
mechanical fit. The expansion cards with the highest priority should be installed first using the slot priority
indicated. All other expansion cards should be installed in card priority and slot priority order.
