PCIe slots

The PCIe slots on Precision 5820 have a different functionality depending on the processor installed. Core i7-78xx has a limit of 28 lanes.

This results in a reduced PCIe lane count to the slots 1 and 4 as shown in the following table:

•

Slot 1 is closest to CPU/memory complex.

Table 23. PCIe slots

Core i9-79xx/Xeon

Core i7-78xx

Slot 1

PCIe x850W

Nonfunctional

Slot 2

PCIex16 300 W*

PCIex16 300 W

Slot 3

PCIex125W-PCH

PCIex1 25W-PCH

Slot 4

PCIex16 300 W*

PCIex8 150 W

Slot 5

PCIex4 25W-PCH

Slot 6

PCI 32 bit 25 W

NOTE:

All slots are Gen3(8GTs) from processor root hub unless otherwise indicated xX indicates the number of lanes that are

connected to the slot. FH=Full Height, FL=Full Length, DW=Double Wide as defined by PCIe CEM spec *Slots are 300 W
capable. Limited to 250 W per slot when more than one MEGA is installed.
