Configuring the System
5-5
The configuration rules are:
•
To obtain the best performances,
first load PCI busses 0 and 1; when these busses are
fulfilled, load PCI bus 0_1
•
64 Port Asynchronous RS-232/RS-422
controllers cannot be installed in contiguous slots
•
Install the graphic controller, if any, before the RAID controller (e.g., if the RAID controller
is installed in PCI slot 4, install the graphic one in PCI slot 2)
•
It is possible to install 32 bit controllers in 64 bit slots
•
Although it would sensibly decrease performances, it is possible to install 64 bit
controllers in 32 bit slots
•
PCI slots 1, 8 and 9 can house only short format controllers (Matrox, being a
medium-long format controller, is allowed in PCI slot 8)
•
RAID LVD controller cannot be installed after the PCI bridge, therefore it is not allowed in
slots 6, 7, 8 and 9
•
It is suggested, to keep good performances, to install only one Gbit Ethernet controller
per PCI bus, possibly into 64 bit slots and before the PCI bridge.
Refer to the documentation delivered with the controller card for its characteristics and
configuration requirements, if any.
See
System Devices Location Map
, on page B-1, for further details about the I/O
subsystem dependences and device location.
The controller cards are identified by a label visible on the external side of the metallic plate
guide. See
PCI/ISA Controller List
, on page 5-6, for the list of supported controllers and
related labels.
