www.dell.com | support.dell.com Expansion Card Installation Guidelines • Do not install full-length expansion cards in slot 1. • You can install expansion cards of different operating speeds on the same bus; however, the bus will operate at the slowest operating speed of the cards on that bus. See Figure A-4 in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide to identify expansion card slots and buses. Installing the SCSI Backplane Daughter Card NOTICE: Before installing a SCSI backplane daughter card, back up your data to prevent data loss. To operate the SCSI backplane in a 2/3 split configuration, you must install a daughter card. For more information on installing the SCSI backplane daughter card, see your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide. Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter When a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter is installed and wake on LAN (WOL) is enabled, your system's connection speed is 10/100-Mbps. The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Server Adapter only supports 10/100-Mbps links when WOL is enabled and the system is in Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server and Advanced Server hibernation. When the operating system loads and the correct drivers are installed, your supported connection speed is 10/100/1000 Mbps. It is recommended that when WOL support is required, the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Server Adapter is connected to a 10/100/1000 link partner in autonegotiation mode. WOL is supported on only one Ethernet port in the system, which does not include the system management port. If you are using an integrated NIC for this purpose, you must use the NIC 1 connector. WOL is not supported on Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit 5703 Ethernet adapters. 1-4 Information Update
