PCI Express bus.
The expansion card comes with a one-year limited warranty. For information about
your warranty, see the Warranty Information document for your device on the IBM
Documentation CD.
See http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ for a list of
I/O modules that are compatible with the expansion card.
