Installing an adapter The following notes describe the types of adapters that the computer supports and other information that you might consider when installing an adapter. See "System board option connectors" on page 32 for an illustration of the adapter slot locations. v Read the documentation that comes with the operating system. v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter. If you have to change the switch or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter. v The computer comes with the following adapter connectors, or slots: Important: The slot designation information describes the adapter that is supported in that slot and the bandwidth for that slot. For example, the x8 (x4) designation for slot 2 identifies an x8 slot that is designed to support x4 adapters and x8 adapters that can downshift to operate at the x4 bandwidth. If you install an x8 adapter in slot 2 that can downshift to the x4 bandwidth, it will run at the x4 bandwidth. The x8 connector is used for x4 and x8 adapters. - Slot 1, PCI Express x16 (x16) - Slot 2, PCI Express x8 (x4) Note: If you install a double-wide adapter in slot 1, it will overlap slot 2. Therefore, you will have one less PCI slot available in which you can install an adapter. To work around this, you can set jumper 10 on the system board to positions 2 and 3, and jumper 11 on the system board to positions 1 and 2 to reroute the signals of slot 2 down to slot 3. This converts slot 3 to a PCI Express x8 slot. For the locations of jumpers 10 and 11 on the system board, see the Problem Determination and Service Guide.

Installing
an
adapter
The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
adapters
that
the
computer
supports
and
other
information
that
you
might
consider
when
installing
an
adapter.
See
“System
board
option
connectors”
on
page
32
for
an
illustration
of
the
adapter
slot
locations.
v
Read
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
operating
system.
v
Locate
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
adapter
and
follow
those
instructions
in
addition
to
the
instructions
in
this
chapter.
If
you
have
to
change
the
switch
or
jumper
settings
on
the
adapter,
follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter.
v
The
computer
comes
with
the
following
adapter
connectors,
or
slots
:
Important:
The
slot
designation
information
describes
the
adapter
that
is
supported
in
that
slot
and
the
bandwidth
for
that
slot.
For
example,
the
x8
(x4)
designation
for
slot
2
identifies
an
x8
slot
that
is
designed
to
support
x4
adapters
and
x8
adapters
that
can
downshift
to
operate
at
the
x4
bandwidth.
If
you
install
an
x8
adapter
in
slot
2
that
can
downshift
to
the
x4
bandwidth,
it
will
run
at
the
x4
bandwidth.
The
x8
connector
is
used
for
x4
and
x8
adapters.

Slot

–
Slot

x8
(x4)
Note:
If
you
install
a
double-wide
adapter
in
slot
1,
it
will
overlap
slot
2.
Therefore,
you
will
have
one
less
PCI
slot
available
in
which
you
can
install
an
adapter.
To
work
around
this,
you
can
set
jumper
10
on
the
system
board
to
positions
2
and
3,
and
jumper
11
on
the
system
board
to
positions
1
and
2
to
reroute
the
signals
of
slot
2
down
to
slot
3.
This
converts
slot
3
to
a
PCI
Express
x8
slot.
For
the
locations
of
jumpers
10
and
11
on
the
system
board,

Problem
Determination
and
