Yes I think so....
But I want to be sure because on this link
https://www.mikrotik.com/interfaces.php they said Wireless Interfaces
(SR5) Super Range 5 400mW 802.11a 5.8GHz MiniPCI card High power 400mW 5.8GHz MiniPCI wireless card, compatible with RouterBOARD 230 and RouterBOARD 532. Should not be used with RouterBOARD 14 four port and RouterBOARD 18 eight port adapters!
I expect them to also comment on Router Board 511

The problem is high power these wi-fi cards drain.
Local reseller told me that I could use max 2 of the on 4 port and 8 port cards.
Anybody knows how much power does a Motherboard provide at PCI slot ?

Will an SR5 and an SR2 card work on a RB511? Or on an RB532?
Thanks

both! the question is - how many of them do you want to use. maximum of 2 is recommended, more can cause power problems
