Hot-Plug PCI-X

NOTE
If the system is rebooted in the new configuration, then both cards will initialize to run at 33 MHz.
This is because the system firmware can only change the bus capability from 66 MHz down to 33
MHz.
2. If you have a 33 MHz card in slot 3, and you hot-plug insert a 66 Mhz card into slot 4, it will work but the new card
will run at 33 MHz. This also applies to slots 5 and 6, as they are shared (both use a common bus).
3. If your unit is powered down and you insert a 33 MHz card into slot 4 (that shares a 66 MHz card in slot 3), then both
cards will run at 33 MHz when the unit is powered up. This also applies to slots 5 and 6, as they are shared (both use
a common bus).
•
Slots 7 and 8 are single slots. The maximum capability of each slot is PCI-X 133MH. Only slots 7 and 8 will allow 133
Mhz, PCI-X cards to run at full speed. These two slots are not limited by bus mode frequency related incompatibilities.

and 5,6-bus 3). Slots 7 and 8 are not shared slots.
