2.6.3 PCI slots This motherboard implements the PCI-X (Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended) bus technology to support up to 100MHz data transfers, or about 800MB/s. This bus technology is primarily designed for servers to increase the performance of high bandwidth devices such as Gigabit Ethernet cards and Ultra3 SCSI interfaces. PCI-X is backward compatible with the earlier PCI bus technology making it possible to install PCI and PCI-X cards at the same time, but the bus speed will be that of the slowest card. The following figure shows the five PCI-X slots and one PCI slot on the motherboard. PCI-X1 PCI-X2 PCI-X3 PCI-X4 PCI64 PCI32 PCI-X slots (PCI X1 to X4) The motherboard may come with either the LSI® 53C1010R or the LSI® 53C1030 SCSI controller. Depending on the onboard SCSI controller, the following table shows the varying bus speeds for the PCI-X slots according to the PCI-X specification 1.0a.
