Installed as standard
*1 Data transfer rate of PCI slot = Transfer bandwidth × Number of lanes
<Example> x8 lane = 64 Gbps (one-way)
*2 Connector size. Cards exceeding the number of sockets cannot be connected.
<Example> x4 socket can connect with x1 and x4 cards, but not x8 card.
* For details of functions of each card, refer to the technical guide.
* The card performance described in the parentheses after the Product name indicates the maximum operation performance of the
card.
* When the operation performance of a PCI board is higher than the PCI slot on the server, the PCI board operates with the
performance of the PCI slot on the server.

Tips
Different cards mounted on the same bus operate at the lower frequency.
•
When the operation performance of a PCI card is higher than the PCI slot on
the server, the PCI card operates with the performance of the PCI slot on the
server.
