PCI and PCI-X adapters
This section provides information about the expansion slots on the system board
and peripheral component interconnect (PCI or PCI-X) adapters.
The following illustration shows the location of the PCI-X expansion slots on the
PCI-X board.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
PCI-X slot 1
(66
) (J1) MHz
PCI-X slot 2
(66
) (J2) MHz
PCI-X slot 3
(100
) (J3) MHz
PCI-X slot 4

PCI and PCI-X 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.
v If you need to change the switch settings or jumper settings on your adapter,
follow the instructions that come with the adapter.
v
Video adapters are not supported.
v Some long adapters have extension handles or brackets installed. Before
installing the adapter, you must remove the extension handle or bracket.
v
The server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI-X adapters. You
can use this technique to install PCI-X adapters that currently do not support
sharing of PCI-X interrupts.
v The xSeries 440 server scans devices and PCI-X slots to assign system
resources in the following order: CD-ROM drive; disk drives; integrated SCSI
devices; PCI-X slots 1, 2, 6, 5, 3, 4; and the integrated Ethernet controller. If an
RXE-100 enclosure is attached to the server, the scan continues in sequence
with PCI slots 11, 12, 9, 10, 7, 8, 17, 18, 15, 16, 13, and 14.
