Adapters
Three types of adapters are available for the server:
Extended industry-standard architecture (EISA)
Industry-standard architecture (ISA)
Peripheral component interconnect (PCI)
Notes
1.
The server has ten expansion slots.
Four of the
expansion slots support EISA/ISA adapters and
six of the expansion slots support PCI adapters.
Refer to the label on the rear of the server for the
numbering of the PCI and EISA/ISA expansion
slots in the server.
2.
The server comes with an Advanced Systems
Management Adapter installed in one EISA/ISA
slot.
Adapter Considerations
Review the documentation that comes with the
adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the
instructions in this manual.
If you need to change the
switch or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the
instructions that come with the adapter
documentation.
You can install 8-, 16-, or 32-bit EISA or ISA adapters
in EISA/ISA slots 1–4 only.
You can install full-length
adapters in all EISA/ISA expansion slots.
You can install PCI adapters in PCI slots 1–6 only.
You can install full-length adapters in all PCI
expansion slots.
To optimize system performance, if you have
high-performance adapters, such as network
adapters, install them in PCI slots 4–6.
The server supports 5.0 V PCI adapters; it does
not
support 3.3
V PCI adapters.
For ease of cabling, install any SCSI adapter that you
plan to connect to a SCSI hot-swap backplane in PCI
slot 1.
The server uses a rotational interrupt technique to
configure PCI adapters.
This technique enables you
to install a variety of PCI adapters that currently do
not support sharing of PCI interrupts.
