The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
adapters
that
the
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
installing
an
adapter:
v
Locate
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
adapter
and
follow
those
instructions
in
addition
to
the
instructions
in
this
section.
If
you
need
to
change
the
switch
setting
or
jumper
settings
on
the
adapter,
follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter.
v
Read
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
operating
system.
v
The
server
comes
with
two
PCI
Express
slots
and
two
PCI
slots.
v
You
can
install
full-length
adapters
in
PCI
slots
3
and
4.
v
You
can
install
only
32-bit/33
MHz
adapters
in
the
32-bit
PCI
slots
3
and
4.
v
The
32-bit
PCI
slots
3
and
4
support
5.0
V
signaling
PCI
adapters;
they
do
not
support
3.3
V
keyed
adapters.
However,
64-bit
adapters
are
supported
if
they
are
universal
adapters.
v
The
slot
1,
PCI
Express
x8
and
slot
2,
PCI
Express
x1
support
any
PCI
Express
adapter
that
is
on
the
ServerProven
list.
v
The
server
scans
the
PCI
Express
x8
slot
(slot
1),
PCI
Express
x1
slot
(slot
2),
and
PCI
slots
3
and
4
to
assign
system
resources.
Then,
the
server
starts
the
PCI

PCI
Express
devices
in
the
following
order,
if
you
have
not
changed
the
default
startup
sequence:
PCI
Express
x8,
PCI
Express
x1,
system-board
integrated
drive
electronics
(IDE)
or
SCSI
devices,
and
then
PCI
slots
3
and
4.
