The U30 has two UPA slave slots for Creator/Elite cards, this is one of
the main reasons I got mine.  An Ultra 10 has one.  An Ultra 5 has one on
the motherboard (the same mobo as the U10) but it's obstructed by the
case.

And you can swap a U60 motherboard (aka AXdp) into a U30 case with no
other changes.
