Working with adapters
You can install up to five peripheral component interconnect (PCI) adapters in the
expansion connectors, called slots, on the system board of your server.
In three of the PCI slots, you can install a new PCI adapter or replace an existing
PCI adapter with the same type of adapter without turning off the server power and
restarting the system, if these features are supported by your operating system.
These slots are sometimes called Active PCI, hot-pluggable PCI, or hot-plug PCI
slots. The two remaining PCI slots support standard (non-hot-plug) PCI adapters.
PCI
Your server comes with a video controller. This video controller is an integrated
component on the system board. It is not in an expansion slot. The integrated
video controller has super video graphics array (SVGA) technology.
The integrated video controller is not removable. If you want to disable this
controller and use a video adapter instead, you can install a video adapter in an
expansion slot. When you install a video adapter, the server BIOS automatically
disables the integrated video controller.
The following illustration shows the location of the PCI expansion slots on the
system board.
