Installing an adapter The following notes describe the types of adapters that your server supports and other information that you must consider when installing an adapter: v The following illustration shows the location and bus speeds of the PCI-X expansion slots. Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware. PCI-X slot 4 (100 MHz) PCI-X slot 5 (133 MHz) PCI-X slot 3 (100 MHz) PCI-X slot 2 (66 MHz) PCI-X slot 6 (133 MHz) Attention LED Power LED PCI-X slot 1 (66 MHz) Figure 23. PCI-X slot bus speeds and locations v Your server supports six hot-plug 64-bit adapters in the expansion slots located on the PCI-X board. Note: You can add up to 12 PCI-X slots to your server by connecting your server to an RXE-100 enclosure. For more information about the expansion enclosure, see the documentation that comes with your expansion enclosure. v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter. v If you need to change the switch settings or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter. v Video adapters are not supported. v Some long adapters have extension handles or brackets installed. Before installing the adapter, you must remove the extension handle or bracket. v Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI-X adapters. You can use this technique to install PCI-X adapters that currently do not support sharing of PCI-X interrupts. 26 xSeries 445 Type 8870: Installation Guide

Installing
an
adapter
The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
adapters
that
your
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
installing
an
adapter:
v
The
following
illustration
shows
the
location
and
bus
speeds
of
the
PCI-X
expansion
slots.
Note:
The
illustrations
in
this
document
might
differ
slightly
from
your
hardware.
v
Your
server
supports
six
hot-plug
64-bit
adapters
in
the
expansion
slots
located
on
the
PCI-X
board.
Note:
You
can
add
up
to
12
PCI-X
slots
to
your
server
by
connecting
your
server
to
an
RXE-100
enclosure.
For
more
information
about
the
expansion
enclosure,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
your
expansion
enclosure.
v
Locate
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
adapter
and
follow
those
instructions
in
addition
to
the
instructions
in
this
chapter.
v
If
you
need
to
change
the
switch
settings
or
jumper
settings
on
your
adapter,
follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter.
v
Video
adapters
are
not
supported.
v
Some
long
adapters
have
extension
handles
or
brackets
installed.
Before
installing
the
adapter,
you
must
remove
the
extension
handle
or
bracket.
v
Your
server
uses
a
rotational
interrupt
technique
to
configure
PCI-X
adapters.
You
can
use
this
technique
to
install
PCI-X
adapters
that
currently
do
not
support
sharing
of
PCI-X
interrupts.
