• One or two PCI Express cards (x1, x4, or x8) up to 25 watts per card at PCI Express v1 (gen1) speeds. The cards may be either the PCI Express long card or short card form factor per the PCI Express standard.
  NOTE: PCI Express cards that are PCI Express v2 or v3 may be used if backward compatible to v1, but operate at the v1 speed.

In addition to the above, please note the following:

• This expansion blade will NOT support one PCI-X card and one PCIe card in the same expansion blade.
• This expansion blade is intended for use with specialty PCI cards offered and supported by third party PCI card manufacturers. HP does not offer warranty or support for third-party PCI manufactured products.
