Explanation

Each Power E870 or Power E880 system node provides eight half-length, half-high x16 PCIe Gen3 slots. These PCIe slots can be used for either low profile PCIe adapters or for attaching a PCIe I/O drawer. A new form factor blind swap cassette (BSC) is used to house the low profile adapters, which go into these slots. All PCIe slots are hot swappable and support concurrent maintenance.
