in the Service Technician’s Guide.
✏NOTE
The SRPL8 server system is an upgrade to the SRPM8 server system with
PCI-X features added. The SRPL8 server system implements
PCI 2.1-compliant buses with four PCI-X-enabled slots. In this document,
the term “PCI” is loosely used to refer to PCI and PCI-X features. The term
“PCI-X” is limited to references to PCI-X only.
