Recommended usage of PCIe slots
The TS-2483XU-RP provides multiple PCIe slots. To ensure that the SATA drives have sufficient bandwidth, it is recommended to only use low-end expansion cards, (such as a 1GbE NIC, USB 3.2 Gen 1 card, or Wi-Fi adapter) with the PCIe Gen2 slot (Slot 1, 3, 5) as this slot is connected to the PCH. For high-end expansion cards (including 10GbE/40GbE NICs, SAS cards, Mustang-200 acceleration card, and graphics cards), it is recommended to use PCIe Gen3 slots (Slot 2, 4) as these slots are connected to the CPU.
Abundant I/O capability with PCIe expansion
The TS-2483XU-RP features 5 PCIe slots that allow for the usage of various expansion cards to expand application potential.
Note: 1U, 2U rackmount models use low-profile graphics cards; 3U, 4U rackmount models use high-profile graphics cards.
