IBM 220 manual Installing an adapter

The system scans PCI slots 1 through 5 to assign system resources; then, the system starts (boots) the PCI devices in the following order: PCI slots 1 and 2, system board SCSI devices, and then PCI slots 3 through 5.

•If you plan to use the Wake on LAN (WOL) function in the server, you must install a Wake on LAN-enabled NIC adapter in PCI slot 1, and install the Wake on LAN cable that comes with the Wake on LAN adapter to connect this adapter to the system board. You must use a Wake on LAN-enabled adapter as identified in the xSeries 220 ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/. Only PCI slot 1 supports a Wake on LAN-enabled adapter. For additional information on the Wake on LAN function, adapter, and cables, refer to the documentation that comes with the Wake on LAN adapter.

•If you plan to use the optional system-management adapter in the server, you must install the optional system-management adapter in PCI slot 2. Only PCI slot 2 supports the optional system-management adapter. For additional information on the optional system-management adapter, refer to the documentation that comes with the adapter.
