11.5.3 General PCI Card Guidelines
When adding PCI cards to the Sun Blade 1500 workstation, consider these general
guidelines:
■ The total power consumption of the installed PCI cards must not exceed
110 Watts.
■ The Sun XVR-100, Sun XVR-600, and Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerators and the
SunPCi III Pro co-processor card are considered high-performance PCI cards.
Installing more than three high-performance PCI cards affects system resources
and is not supported. Also:
■ Installing more than three Sun XVR-100 graphics accelerators is not supported.
■ Installing more than two Sun XVR-600 graphics accelerators is not supported.
■ Installing more than one Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerator is not supported.
■ Installing more than one SunPCi III Pro co-processor card is not supported.
■ High-performance PCI cards can be installed into any slot. However, for best
results, install high performance PCI cards into slot PCI4, the 64-bit 66 MHz
slot.
■ Use FIGURE 11-36 to help determine where to install your PCI cards.
