PCI-X Expansion Slots
HP ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 servers offer a range of features for internal and
external expansion in ways that ensure optimal availability and performance.
•
PCI-X technology
HP ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 servers feature seven 64-bit, 100-MHz
expansion slots operating across four buses that support the latest
industry-standard technology, Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended
(PCI-X). This follow-on technology increases the data throughput capacity of
PCI technology and minimizes bottlenecks associated with high-bandwidth
devices, such as:
— Gigabit Ethernet NICs
— Fibre channel controllers
— Smart Array Controllers
•
Load balancing and PCI Hot Plug
The server’s PCI-X expansion slots operate across four separate buses to enable
load balancing across multiple expansion boards. Four hot-plug slots provide
enhanced availability.
•
Expansion slot speed LEDs
Internal LEDs associated with each PCI-X slot enable you to determine at a
glance whether the board in that slot is a PCI board or a PCI-X board, as well as
the speed at which the board is operating.
