cards.

HP recommends the following:
• If the graphic card is populated in PCI slot 3, do not use PCI slot 2.
• If a single-wide graphic card is populated in PCI slot 8, do not use PCI slot 9.
• In a single-processor configuration, HP recommends installing the graphic card in PCI slot 3.
• In a two-processor configuration, HP recommends installing the graphic card in PCI slot 6.
• If a third graphic card is installed, HP recommends installing the third graphic card in PCI slot 8.
