Working with Adapters
Working with Adapters
You can add adapters to provide communication, specialized
graphics, and sound. This extends the capabilities and power of
your server. Many adapters provide bus-master capabilities, which
enable the adapters to perform operations without interrupting the
server's microprocessor.
Your server has adapter connectors called expansion slots, which are
located on a riser card.
Riser Configuration
The following information describes the expansion slots that are
available on the PCI/ISA riser card.
The server riser card has four dedicated PCI slots, two dedicated
ISA expansion slots and one shared PCI/ISA expansion slot. You
can install only one adapter in the shared slot.
