ES/GS Common Options

For PCI-X capable slots:

All universal or 3.3V PCI and PCI-X cards are supported,

EXCEPT: UltraSCSI wide differential adapter, 32-bit/33-MHz PCI adapter (3X-KZPBA-CC)

PCI-X protocol is used on the bus, but reverts to PCI protocol in these cases:

When one or more PCI cards are in a bus segment

Gigabit Ethernet, Rev A (DEGXA-SA/TA) is in the bus segment

An I/O bus segment will operate at the least common denominator of the adapters installed or the lower speeds dictated by bus loading (as shown in the tables), whichever is less.

The PCI-X card slots must be populated contiguously starting with slot 1; otherwise the bus will run at 33 MHz PCI.
