PCI buses

—PCI bus 0: PCI slot 1 is 32-bit, 33-MHz.

—PCI bus 1: PCI slots 2 through 5 are 64-bit, 33-MHz.

—PCI bus 2: PCI slots 6 and 7 are 64-bit, 33/66-MHz. HBAs

—For dual HBA configurations, Dell recommends installing the HBAs on sepa- rate PCI buses (PCI buses 1 and 2) to balance the load on the system.

•DRAC 2

—If you are currently using a DRAC 2 or plan to use one in the future, install it in PCI slot 1.
