V880 PCI card configuration

The cards are installed in the slots shown in the following table. The minimum configuration has either a SunSwift card or a Dual FastEthernet and Dual SCSI card in Slot 2 and the graphics card in slot 7.

! Important:

On earlier versions of the V880, the ethernet cards were installed in the following order:

Slots 0, 1, 2, and 5

Avaya now recommends that ethernet cards be installed as shown in the following table:

	Slot	Card
Number	Type	Name	Supports	Device
			hot-plug?1	type
8	33/66MHz, 3.3V	Reserved for future use	N/A	N/A
7	33/66MHz, 3.3V	Graphics (required)	No	N/A
6	33MHz, 5V	Third ethernet card2 (optional)	Yes	ce
5	33MHz, 5V	Fourth ethernet card2 (optional)	Yes	ce
4	33MHz, 5V	Second HSI/P3 (optional)	No	N/A
3	33MHz, 5V	First HSI/P3 (optional)	No	N/A
2	33MHz, 5V	SunSwift (required), or	No4	ce
		Dual FastEthernet and Dual SCSI (required)	No4	ce
1	33MHz, 5V	Second ethernet card2 (optional)	Yes	ce
0	33MHz, 5V	Empty	N/A	N/A

1.Hot-plug operation for a PCI card requires that the card have detach-safe drivers. If the card does not have detach-safe drivers, the system must be shut down to add, remove, or replace the card.

2.The computer supports a maximum of four ethernet cards. The optional ethernet cards can be the FastEthernet, Quad GigaSwift, and single Gigabit ethernet cards.

3.The computer supports a maximum of two HSI/P cards. The first card must be in Slot 3. CMS R12 and later does not support HSI/P cards and X.25.

4.Some models of the SCSI cards support hot-plug operation, but Avaya recommends that you replace those cards while the system is powered down.
