Platform	Required Host-Card Slot
Cisco MCS-7845-I1-ECS2	Slot 3 or 4
Dell PowerEdge 4400	Slot 1
Hewlett-Packard DL580G1	Slot 6
Hewlett-Packard DL580G2	Slot 4 to 6
Hewlett-Packard ML570G1	Slot 6
Hewlett-Packard ML570G2	Slot 4 to 6
IBM x Series 232	Slot 4
IBM x Series 342	Slot 4
IBM x Series 345	Slot 3 or 5
IBM x Series 346	Slot 3 or 4

Note The slot assignments shown in the table do not apply to voice cards.

For supported platforms that are not listed above, the host card can be installed in any applicable slot. (For the platforms that support using an expansion chassis, refer to the Cisco Unity Supported Platforms List, available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_data_sheets_list.html.)

Note that if the slot location of a customer-provided server management card (such as Hewlett-Packard Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition) conflicts with a required host card slot, the host card takes precedence.

Step 6 Insert each voice card firmly into its slot in the server or in the expansion chassis, and fasten each card to the back plate with a screw. Note the following considerations, as applicable:

•If you are installing more than one voice card of the same model, and if the cards include a hardware setting that indicates which card is first, second, and so on, install the cards in the order specified by the hardware settings.

•If you are installing voice cards of different models in the same server, install cards of the same model adjacent to one another.

•Choose a physically compatible slot in an appropriate bus segment. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for detailed PCI bus topology information.

Caution Placing a 33-MHz Intel Dialogic voice card in a physical interface slot in the same logical segment as a 66-MHz PCI or 100-to-133-MHz PCI-X interface card will slow both slots in the logical segment to 33 MHz, degrading performance of the whole platform.

Step 7 If you are installing multiple voice cards that have H.100 bus connectors, cable the cards together. On each card, connect the cable so the red stripe on the cable corresponds with pin 1 on the card connector. Confirm that the connectors are firmly seated.

Caution If you do not cable cards together as required, the voice card software will not start, and Cisco Unity will not answer calls.
