IBM System x3650 M4 HD 21
I/O expansion options
The server supports up to six PCIe slots with different riser cards that are installed into two riser sockets
on the system board (one riser socket supports the installation of one riser card). Riser 1 supplies slots 1,
2, and 3. Riser 2 supplies slots 4, 5, and 6. Standard models have Riser card 1 installed with three PCIe
3.0 x8 slots. To enable slots 4 - 6, install a second processor and a second riser card.
These options are available through CTO only. Slots 1 and 2 can be replaced with a two-bay 2.5-inch
hot-swap drive kit, feature A3NQ. The kit includes a 1-card riser for a RAID card that is installed in slot 3.a
The following table lists the PCI riser card options that are available.
