PCI card slots

The Power 755 has a maximum of five hot-plug slots.

•Slot 1 is a PCIe x8 short-length slot. A GX++ slot shares this slot.

•Slot 2 is a PCIe x8 short-length slot.

•Slot 3 is a PCIe x8 full-length slot.

•Slots 4 and 5 are PCIX DDR 266 MHz full-length slots.

•All slots are hot pluggable except slot 1 when used as a GX slot.

Graphics adapters

•A graphics adapter, keyboard, and mouse are not required in the minimum configuration.

•The maximum number of graphics adapters supported in the Power 755 is three.

I/O adapters

•Integrated Virtual Ethernet feature (#5613, #5623, #5624), and the SAS RAID Enablement feature (#5679) are not plugged into a slot, leaving the slots available for PCI adapters or GX adapters.

•Refer to Figure 2 for additional I/O adapter information.

•The adapter installed in slot 1 or 2 must be short.
