vThe server scans PCI Express x1 slot 2, PCI Express x8 slot 1, and PCI slots 3 and 4 to assign system resources. If the optional PCI-X expansion card is attached to the system board, the server also scans PCI-X slots 5 and 6 to assign additional system resources. Then, the server starts the PCI devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI Express x8 slot 1, PCI-X slot 5 (optional), PCI-X slot 6 (optional), PCI Express x1 slot 2, PCI slot 3, and PCI slot 4.

vFor a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/ eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.

For the locations of the expansion slots on the system board and the optional PCI-X expansion card, see the User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which could result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on.
