Working with adapters

Your server comes with adapter connectors, called slots. The AGP video adapter is installed in the AGP slot. You can install up to five PCI adapters in PCI slots 1 through 5. All PCI expansion slots are 32-bit, 33 MHz slots.

Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.

The following illustration shows the location of the system expansion slots on the system and PCI extender boards.
