PCI-X Technology
Slot Architecture and Buses
Each of the six PCI-X expansion slots in the ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 server
operates at a maximum frequency of 100 MHz and is managed across three data
buses. The server facilitates load balancing by having no more than two slots per bus.
Use Figure 7-1 and Table 7-1 to identify the PCI-X expansion slots and buses.
