Book Title
Working with adapters
Your server comes with five PCI adapter connectors, or
slots
and one AGP slot. You
can install one AGP video adapter in the AGP slot.
All PCI expansion slots are 32-bit,
33 MHz slots.
The following illustration shows the location of the PCI expansion slots on the system
board and PCI extender board.
Adapter considerations
Before you install an adapter, review the following information:
Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter. If you need to change
switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that come with
the adapter.
You can install full-length adapters in all five PCI expansion slots.
Your server supports 5.0V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support 3.3V
adapters.
Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters.
Therefore, you can install a variety of PCI adapters that currently do not support
sharing of PCI interrupts.
