Expansion slots

The system features seven expansion slots: five PCI slots, one shared PCI/RAID port slot, and one shared PCI/ISA slot. The I2O feature connector is aligned with one of the PCI slots (secondary PCI slot 1). If you install a card in the I2O feature connector, you may not be able to use the corresponding PCI slot.

The PCI bus processes peripheral transactions at a system clock speed of up to 33 MHz.

I/O connectors

The I/O connectors are located on the back cover of the system. Figure 8 shows the connectors.

Figure 8: I/O ConnectorsThe following I/O connectors are included with the system:

Two universal serial bus (USB) ports provide connection for a growing list of peripherals including mouse, keyboard, joystick, monitor, tape, and diskette drives. You can daisy-chain up to 127 devices from each port. The port also provides hot-swap capability
