4.5.2 Replacing the PCIe Card and Riser Assembly
Note – Many of the illustrations in this section show multiple PCIe slots on the
motherboard. The Sun Fire X2250 server motherboard will only have a single PCIe
slot.
The PCIe riser assembly installed in the server is a low-profile, half-length x16 dual
connector card, supporting up to
35W cards.
■ Low-profile, half-length x16 single connector card up to ?W
Note – Graphics cards are not currently supported for the x16 riser assembly. Refer
to the Sun Fire X2100 M2 Server Product Notes for specifics on limits on supported
cards for this riser assembly.
