11 PCI Slots
11.1 Overview
The T710 comes standard with six PCIe (gen 2) expansion slots on the motherboard. A separate
dedicated slot is provided on the motherboard for the hard drive controller. All PCIe slots are x8
connectors, except for one x16 slot.
For more information on slot specifications, see the Expansion Cards section in the Installing System
Components chapter of the Dell PowerEdge T710 Systems Hardware Owner’s Manual on
Support.Dell.com.
11.2 Express Card Specifications
The PowerEdgeT710 supports x16 cards that meet the following requirements:
 Support for full bandwidth of x16 Gen2 link
 No support for hot-plug or hot-removal
 Maximum power of 25W
 A card must only occupy the space of one slot; cards that occupy the space of two slots are
not supported
 A card is limited to 25W initial start-up power until it is configured as a high-power device; if
no value is set for the Slot Power Limit, the card is limited to 25W, and the card must then
either scale down to 25W or disable operation
 The x16 card must be able to support a maximum operating temperature of 55°C; the T710
provides a minimum transverse air velocity of ―x‖ LFM (linear feet per minute) to the x16
card
