Working with adapters in the xSeries 330
The server/workstation comes with two peripheral component interconnect (PCI)
adapter slots on the system board with riser cards installed in them.
Attention: Your server/workstation also comes with an integrated video
controller on the system board. When you install a video adapter in a PCI slot, the
server/workstation BIOS automatically disables the integrated video controller.
This allows the video adapter in the PCI slot to control the video functions for
your monitor.
The following illustration shows the location of the 33 MHz PCI expansion slots on
the system board.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.

Adapter considerations
Before you install adapters, review the following:
v
Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter. If you need to change
the switch settings or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions
that come with the adapter.
v
You can install 32-bit or 64-bit full-length or half-length adapters in the
expansion slots. Full-length adapters are installed in slot 1; half-length adapters
are installed in either slot 1 or 2.
v
Your server/workstation supports 5.0 V and universal PCI adapters; it does not
support 3.3 V only adapters.
v
Your server/workstation uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI
adapters. Because of this technique, you can install PCI adapters that currently
do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.
v
PCI slots 1 and 2 and the integrated SCSI controller are on PCI bus B; the
system board and all other integrated devices are on PCI bus A.
