v PCI expansion slots 1 through 5 are on PCI bus 0. The system scans the AGP slot and PCI expansion slots 1 through 5 to assign system resources; then, the system starts (boots) the PCI devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default boot sequence: PCI expansion slots 1 and 2, system board integrated drive electronics (IDE) or SCSI devices, and then PCI expansion slots 3 through 5. Note: To change the boot sequence for PCI devices, start the Configuration/Setup Utility program, select Start Options from the main menu, select Startup Sequence; then, select Second device (SCSI) to designate the adapter boot sequence. See Chapter 4, "Configuring the server," on page 33 for details on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. v For a list of supported options for your server, refer to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat on the World Wide Web.
