NetBackup 5240 Appliance I/O configuration options
The rear panel of the NetBackup 5240 Appliance contains three PCIe riser card assemblies. PCIe riser card assemblies 1 and 2 each support three standard PCIe cards, while PCIe riser card assembly 3 supports two low profile PCIe cards. The slots are labeled 1 to 8. Slots 1, 2, and 3 are located in PCIe riser card assembly 2. Slots 4, 5, and 6 are located in PCIe riser card assembly 1, while slots 7 and 8 are located in PCIe riser card assembly 3.
The NetBackup 5240 Appliance supports multiple PCIe-based I/O configuration options. The following table shows the different I/O configuration options that are available.

† Includes the Veritas NetBackup™ 5240 CloudCatalyst Appliance * Slot 1 contains a factory installed PCIe RAID 6 controller when at least one Veritas 2U12 49TB Storage Shelf is purchased with the NetBackup 5240 Appliance. Otherwise, slot 1 is not populated and is reserved for future use. ** Slot 7 contains the NetBackup 5240 Appliance's internal PCIe raid controller. This RAID controller is used to create the RAID 1 Array for the disk drives on which the appliance operating system is installed. The operating system disk drives are located in slots 0 and 1 of the front panel. *** Slot 8 is reserved for the optional SAS tape-out adapter, which is used to connect external SAS devices to the NetBackup 5240 Appliance.
