PCI Card Slot Numbering and Capabilities

To maintain optimum graphics performance, you should always use slot 2 (SL2) as your primary graphics card slot and slot 4 (SL4) as your secondary graphics card slot.

If you connect your monitor to a different graphics card slot, you will need to change the graphics path for that monitor. To do this read the section “Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type” in the chapter “The Boot Console Interface.”
