PCIe* add-in card support
Unable to determine if using only one CPU opens up all PCIe* lanes on the S2600WFTR board.
The server board provides three riser card slots identified as: Riser Slot #1, Riser Slot #2, and Riser Slot #3. The PCIe bus lanes for each riser card slot is supported by each of the two installed processors.
- Riser Slot #1: X24 PCIe* 3.0
- X16 PCIe* - CPU #1
- X8 PCIe* - CPU #2
- Riser Slot #2: X24 PCIe* 3.0
- X24 PCIe* - CPU #2
- Riser Slot #3: X12 PCIe* 3.0
- X8 PCIe* - CPU #2
- X4 PCIe* - DMI
Note: A dual processor configuration is required when using Riser Slot #2 and Riser Slot #3, as well as the bottom add-in card slot for 2U riser cards installed in Riser Slot #1.
