Figure 3-3 PCI-X slots in the x450
Other configuration information:
The x450 server supports connection to a RXE-100.
Video adapters are not supported.
The PCI slots support 3.3 V adapters only.
Only the on-board SCSI/RAID controller is supported for connection to the
internal drive bays. The use of ServeRAID or Fibre Channel adapters is only
supported for connection to external disks.
Do not install a ServeRAID card in slot 1. This is because there is little space
between the top of the adapter and the cover when the covers are closed.
This could damage the SCSI cable.
Some long adapters have extension handles or brackets installed. Before
installing the adapter, you must remove the extension handle or bracket.
The system scans PCI-X slots to assign system resources. The system
attempts to start the first device found. The search order is:
a. CD-ROM
b. Disk drives
c. Integrated SCSI devices
d. x450 PCI-X slots (in the order 1, 2, 6, 5, 3, 4)
Important:
5.0 V adapters are not supported.
