Working with adapters You can add adapters to extend the capabilities and power of the server. Many adapters provide bus-master capabilities, which enable the adapters to perform operations without interrupting the server's microprocessor. You can install up to five peripheral component interconnect (PCI) adapters in the expansion connectors, called slots, on the system board of the server. In three of the PCI slots, you can install a new PCI adapter or replace an existing PCI adapter with the same type of adapter without turning off the server power and restarting the system, if these features are supported by the operating system. These slots are called hot-pluggable PCI slots. They are also referred to as hot-plug PCI slots. The two remaining PCI slots support standard (non-hot-plug) PCI adapters. The server comes with a video controller. This video controller is an integrated component on the system board. It is not in an expansion slot. The integrated video controller has super video graphics array (SVGA) technology. The integrated video controller is not removable. If you want to disable this controller and use a video adapter instead, you can install a video adapter in an expansion slot. When you install a video adapter, the server BIOS automatically disables the integrated video controller. The following illustration shows the location of the PCI expansion slots on the system board.
