Optional riser #5685 fits the GX++ slot 1 (P1-C1) of the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C and 8205-E6D, the Power 720 and Power 740 systems. It adds four short x8 PCIe Gen2 low-profile slots. Each slot is its own PCI host bridge, with location codes P1-C1-C1 through P1-C1-C4.
On the 8202-E4B and 8205-E6B the new slots are numbered 5 to 8, and on the 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6C and 8205-E6D they are numbered 7 to 10. Only low-profile adapters go in these slots; full-height adapters belong in the full-height slots of the system. Low-profile and full-height cards are the same adapters with different brackets.
Generation-2 PCIe adapters run on this riser, while the #5610 riser carries four generation-1 slots. The slots support enhanced error handling but are not hot swappable, and the system is powered off before an adapter is inserted. The riser seats on a male connector on the system board and is held by a latch mechanism and securing knobs. The Power 720 has one GX++ slot and the Power 740 has two, and #5685 uses the first.
