There are four full-width slots that will take a CPU or an I/O board,
and one half-width slot into which only the mandatory clock board will
fit.  In practical terms, while you could technically boot the machine
via serial console from the internal disks, with no head and no NIC
you're not going to be doing much of anything useful with it.
