Adapter considerations
Before you install adapters, review the following:
•Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions given in this chapter. If you need to change switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter.
•You can install
•You can install a
•The server supports 5.0V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support 3.3V adapters.
•The server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters. Because of this technique, you can install a variety of PCI adapters that currently do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.
•The server has two PCI buses. PCI slots 1 and 2 are on PCI bus A and PCI slots 3, 4, and 5 are on PCI bus B.
Note: PCI bus A is sometimes referred to as bus 0; PCI bus B is sometimes referred to as bus 1.
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
•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
