PCIe slots and adapters
Understanding the technical rules for PCIe adapters helps you correctly install and configure PCIe adapters 
in the system.
For the technical rules for PCIe adapters, see the following for details. 
• 
“PCIe adapters supported for different models” on page 50
•  “PCIe adapter installation rules and order” on page 51
•  “Recommended slot installation priority for PCIe adapters” on page 51
•  “Technical rules for mixing OCP/PCIe adapters with RAID/HBA adapters” on page 52
•  “Technical rules for mixing PCIe adapters with processors” on page 52
