Installing an adapter
The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and
other information that you must consider when installing an adapter. The type of
adapters that the server supports might vary, depending on your server model.
v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this section. If you must change the
switch setting or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come
with the adapter.
v The server comes with the following adapter connectors, or slots:
– Slot 1, PCI Express x8 (x4)
Important: The x8 (x4) designation for slot 1 identifies an x8 slot that is
designed to support x4 adapters and x8 adapters that can downshift to
operate at the x4 bandwidth. If you install an x8 adapter in slot 1 that can
downshift to the x4 bandwidth, it will run at the x4 bandwidth. The x8
connector can be used for x4 and x8 adapters. Check the information that
comes with your adapter for compatibility information.
– Slot 2, PCI Express x8 (x8)
– Slot 3, PCI Express x8 (x8)
– Slot 4, PCI-X 64-bit/133 MHz
– Slot 5, PCI-X 64-bit/133 MHz
– Slot 6, PCI 32-bit/33 MHz
v
You can install supported full-length adapters in slots 2, 3, 4 and 5. You can
install only half-length adapters in slots 1 and 6.
v Universal adapters are supported in slots 4 and 5 if they are universally keyed.
