v
Regular full-height adapters can be installed only in the four full-height slots: P1-C4 to P1-C7.
v
The low-profile adapters can be installed only in slot P1-C1-C1 to slot P1-C1-C4.
v
The low-profile and full-height adapters are the same adapters but with different brackets for installing in the
slots. Install the low-height cards in low-profile slots and full-height cards in full-height slots.
v
Slots 5 - 8 are optional low-profile slots and are available only if the feature 5610 or 5685, is connected to the
GX++ slot (P1-C1). If 5685 is installed, then these slots (slots 5 - 8) support generation-2 PCIe adapters.
v
All slots support enhanced error handling (EEH).
v
None of the internal PCIe slots are hot swappable. Turn off the system before you insert any of the PCIe adapters.
v
Only the carriers that are used in the I/O expansion units are hot swappable.
PCI slot descriptions for 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6C, and 8205-E6D
Figure 4 shows the PCI slots and their location codes for 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6C, and 8205-E6D
systems. The 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6C, and 8205-E6D systems have five PCIe x8 G2 full-height
half-length slots and one PCIe x4 full-height half-length slot. All slots support enhanced error handling
(EEH), but are not hot pluggable. PCIe slots 1 and 4 have an x16 connector, and the other slots have x8
connector. Table 5 on page 23 lists the adapter slot locations and details for the 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D,
8205-E6C, and 8205-E6D.
