(1) A standard height x1 add-in card intended for desktop applications is limited in length to a half-length add-in card and 10 W maximum
power dissipation. A standard height x1 add-in card intended for server I/O applications with 25 W maximum power dissipation must be
greater than or equal to 177.80 mm (7.0 inches) in length, but must not exceed a full-length add-in card. See PCIExpress CEM Table
6-1 for add-in card size definitions. The same server I/O add-in card must, at initial power-up, not exceed 10 W of power dissipation,
until configured as a high power device, at which time it must not exceed 25 W of power dissipation. Refer to Chapter 6 of the PCI
Express Base Specification for information on the power configuration mechanism.
(2) A standard height x16 add-in card intended for server I/O applications must limit its power dissipation to 25 W. A standard height x16
add-in card intended for graphics applications must, at initial power-up, not exceed 25 W of power dissipation, until configured as a high
power device, at which time it must not exceed 60 / 75 W of power dissipation. Refer to Chapter 6 of the PCI Express Base
Specification for information on the power configuration mechanism.
(3) All low profile add-in cards are limited in length to a half-length add-in card and must not exceed the power dissipation values shown in
Add-in Card Power Dissipation Table.
(4) A x16 graphics card is limited to 60/75 W. The 60/75 W maximum can be drawn via the combination of 12-V and 3.3-V rails, but each
rail draw is limited as defined in Power Supply Rail Requirements Table, and the sum of the draw on the two rails cannot exceed 60/75
W.
(5) 150 W, x16 graphics 150 W ATX requires a second connector, each connector must be current limited to 75 W to insure that when a
fault occurs it will not damage the connectors. The TPS2490 is a good 12-V hot swap controller for the second cable.
