ProLiant 6500
ProLiant 6500 is a dual-peer bus and has 8 PCI slots: 2 shared compatibility PCI/EISA slots
and 6 hot plug secondary PCI slots (see Figure 14).
Primary Bus:
Slots 1 and 2 are shared PCI/EISA slots
in this server configuration.
Bus
numbering starts here and works it way
down to the Secondary Bus.
Secondary Bus:
Bus numbering continues down to the
hot pluggable slots 3 - 8.

Design Comparisons ProLiant 6000 and ProLiant 7000 (Pentium Pro processor):
As stated earlier, the ProLiant 6000 and ProLiant 7000 servers have similar architectural
design. Both servers are dual-peer PCI buses that consist of 6 slots on the Primary Bus (4 are
PCI starting at slot 3, slots 1 and 2 are EISA). The Secondary Bus contains five PCI slots,
numbered 7-11. The PCI bus number detection process begins with slot 3 on the Primary Bus.
The results of tests performed on these two servers are combined for the purpose of showing
results. The most obvious difference between these two servers is that the ProLiant 7000
supports hot plug slots in the Secondary Bus (slots 7-11).
A slot comparison diagram of each server follows in Figure 15:
