Adapter Considerations: Before you continue with the adapter-installation procedure: Review and follow the instructions that come with the adapter and your operating system in addition to the instructions given in this chapter. If you need to change the switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter documentation. You can install full-length PCI adapters in all PCI expansion slots. Your server supports only 5.0 V DC PCI adapters. Your 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. For a list of compatible RAID adapters, and installation requirements, refer to http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/compat/ on the World Wide Web. If you install a RAID adapter, configure the adapter using the RAID adapter documentation. The I/O function card slot can support only the I/O function card. It is not an expansion slot. The system-management adapter slot can only support the Advanced Remote Management Controller. It is not an expansion slot. Your server has three 33 MHz PCI buses. - PCI slots 11 and 12 are on PCI bus C (bus numbers 0 and 1, with bus numbers 2 and 3 reserved for adapters that require bus number assignments). - PCI slots 6-10 are on PCI bus B (bus number 4, with bus number 5-9 reserved for adapters that require bus number assignments). - PCI slots 1-5 are on PCI bus A (bus number 10, with bus numbers 11-15 reserved for adapters that require bus number assignments). You can install 32-bit adapters in 64-bit slots and 64-bit adapters in 32-bit slots. Spread the installation of high speed adapters, such as Gb Ethernet adapters, between the three PCI buses to optimize performance. Configuring Adapters: PCI devices automatically communicate with the server configuration information. This usually results in automatic configuration of a PCI device. From the Configuration/Setup Utility program, you can select available resources for the adapter that you are installing. If a conflict does occur, see "Resolving Configuration Conflicts" on page 36. Refer to the documentation that comes with the adapter for information about required system resources. Then, make the appropriate jumper or switch settings on the adapter.
