Adding Components
The multi-slot design of your PCATX-R9 portable workstation supports a wide
range of industry standard add-on cards through available expansion slots on
the system board. The number of available slots and slot types depends on
how your system was initially configured.

and two 3.5” drive bays are externally accessible. Your can install removable
media drives in any open drive bay. There is also an internal drive bay for a
