Oracle Database Appliance X10-L supports up to four Oracle Flash Accelerator 680 PCIe
Cards.
• If possible, order any optional PCIe cards when you initially buy the system and have the
cards factory installed.
• If you want to add or replace PCIe cards after your appliance has been delivered from the
factory, the following rules apply:
– You can install any of the supported PCIe cards listed in the table below.
– You must install optional PCIe cards in the proper order and slots (refer to the table
below).
– If you want to replace an existing network card, you must first delete the network card
and its network interface using the appliance oftware. Then replace the physical
network card with the new one. When the appliance is restarted the new network
card will be used. For specific instructions on software removal or configuration of a
public network card, refer to the Deployment and User's Guide.
Note:
You cannot replace the factory installed public network card installed in
PCIe slot 5. In addition, for the Oracle Database Appliance X10-HA, you
cannot replace the factory installed cluster interconnect network card
installed in PCIe slot 1.
The following table describes the supported PCIe cards and the order in which they can be
installed in the system.
