PCI I/O Physical
The Sun Fire platforms support PCI cards and compact PCI cards,
mounted on I/O boards.
The F6800 & F4800/4810 platforms support an 8-slot PCI board
(illustrated below), and a 4-slot cPCI I/O board.
Note –
There are 6-slots which run at 33MHz and 2-slots which run at
33/66 MHz, balanced across two schizo ASICs.
Balance the PCI cards across schizo ASICs, and make sure you do
not tie up a 33/66 MHz slot with a 33 MHz card unless absolutely
necessary.
Note also that due to the power regulator on the I/O board, only short
PCI cards can be fitted in slot 0 & 1.
