WARNING:
The system default power is 96 W. The maximum total power of the
backplane to support expansion cards is 45 W. The power of the
selected expansion cards can not exceed the max. power (45 W),
otherwise, the system may fail.
NOTE:
When using an expansion card with high power consumption, it is
recommended to install an external power supply to the 12V power
input connector on the backplane.
The maximum dimensions of the expansion card should be 190 mm in
length and 111 mm in width.
