IBM System x3550 M4 22I/O expansion optionsThe server supports two PCI slots with different riser cards installed into two riser sockets on the systemplanar (one riser socket supports the installation of one riser card). The slot form factors are as follows:Slot 1: PCIe x16; low profile, half-lengthSlot 2: PCIe x16, PCIe x8, or PCI-X; full-height, half-length (PCIe x16 slot requires second processorto be installed)Riser 1 supplies slot 1, and riser 2 supplies slot 2. All standard models except for model DDx have tworiser cards installed that provide one PCIe x16 Gen 3 slot and one PCIe x8 Gen 3 slot (features A1HJ andA1HK). Model DDx has two PCIe x16 slots (A1HJ and A1HL)You can replace the second riser card with one of the following (or configure one of these riser cardsinstead of the second riser card using special bid or CTO), provided a second processor is also installed:A riser with one PCIe x16 Gen 3 slot (69Y5671, feature A1HL)A riser with one PCIe x8 Gen 3 slot (69Y5670, feature A1HKA riser with one PCI-X 64 bit/133 MHz slot (69Y5669, feature A1HM)The following table lists the PCI riser card options.Table 11.

Mezzanine cards use a dedicated connector on the system board anddo not consume a PCI expansion slot.
