Adapters
Adding an adapter, such as a communication adapter,
extends the capabilities and power of the server. For
example, you can add a RAID (redundant array of
independent disks) adapter that can enhance logical-drive
capacity and performance.
Adapter considerations:
The Netfinity 5000
supports ISA and PCI adapters. You can install up to six
adapters in the connectors on the system board.
The system board in the server contains 16-bit, ISA-bus
expansion connectors and 32-bit, PCI-bus expansion
connectors. One of the expansion slots is a shared
PCI/ISA slot. One of the expansion slots supports only
ISA adapters. The remaining four slots support only PCI
adapters. The server supports only 5.0-volt adapters on
the PCI bus.
Notes
1. You can install PCI adapters in slots 1–5. Slots
1–4 are on PCI bus 2, slot 5 is on PCI bus 1.
Both PCI buses are primary buses; when the
system scans the buses to see what devices are
on them, it scans PCI bus 1 first.
2. You can install ISA adapters in the slots 1 and 2.
Note: If an ISA adapter is not a Plug and Play
device, you must allocate the system
resources that the adapter will use. Use
the Plug and Play choice in the Advanced
Setup selection of the Configuration/Setup
Utility program to allocate resources.
The following figure shows the location of the PCI and ISA
expansion slot connectors on the system board.
