10 I/O Slots
10.1 Overview
The PowerEdge R510 system provides two configurations for I/O slots:
Riser 1 (default offering): Three PCIe slots (x4, x4, x8 bandwidth; all w/ x8 slots) + One
internal storage slot (x4 bandwidth w/ x8 slot for SAS or PERC integrated cards only)
Riser 2 (for GPGPU ONLY): One PCIe slot (x16 bandwidth and slot) + One internal storage slot
(x4 bandwidth w/ x8 slot for SAS or PERC integrated cards only)

For dedicated storage controller
• One x4 PCIe Gen2 slot (slot 1, x8 connector with x4 routing) for full-height half-length cards, connected
to the IOH
• One x4 PCIe Gen2 slot (slot 2, x8 connector with x4 routing) for full-height full-length cards, connected
to the IOH
• One x8 PCIe Gen2 slot (slot 3, x8 connector with x8 routing) for full-height half-length cards, connected
to the IOH
• One x4 PCIe Gen2 slot (slot 4, x8 connector with x4 routing) for dedicated storage controller card,
connected to the IOH
• System supports 25W maximum power for slots 2 and 3 and 15W for slot 1 and 4
• The lower power support on slots 1 and 4 is due to system thermal limitations
• The PowerEdge R510 does not support hot-swapping of PCIe cards
