PCI add-in board locations

The Altos G900 server supports four hot-plug PCI add-in boards and four non-hot-plug PCI add-in boards.

Figure 32 - PCI add-in board locations

Label Description

AFour hot-plug 64-Bit, 100-MHz PCI-X add-in board slots

BTwo non-hot-plug 64-Bit, 100-MHz PCI-X add-in board slots

CTwo non-hot-plug 32-Bit, 33-MHz PCI add-in board slots

Caution! Be sure any empty expansion slots have a slot cover installed. An open expansion slot reduces the cooling and EMI integrity of the server and can affect performance and cause damage due to overheating.
