Working
with
adapters
Your
computer
comes
with
adapter
connectors
or
slots.
The
AGP
video
adapter
is
installed
in
the
AGP
Pro
slot,
and
some
models
have
an
IEEE
1394
(FireWire)
adapter
installed
in
mini-PCI
slot
6
(PCI6).
You
can
install
up
to
five
additional
optional
adapters
in
your
computer
in
PCI
slot
1
(PCI1)
and
PCI-X
slots
2
through
5
(PCI2
through
PCI5).
See
“System-board
option
connectors”
on
page
11
for
the
locations
of
expansion
slots
on
the
system
board.
Adapter
considerations
Before
you
install
an
adapter,
review
the
following
information:
v
Read
the
documentation
that
comes
with
your
operating
system.
v
Locate
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
adapter
and
follow
those
instructions
in
addition
to
the
instructions
in
this
chapter.
If
you
need
to
change
the
switch
or
jumper
settings
on
your
adapter,
follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter.
v
You
can
install
only
a
32-bit
adapter
in
the
32-bit
PCI
slot
1;
64-bit
adapters
can
be
installed
only
in
the
64-bit
PCI-X
slots
2
through
5.
v
You
can
install
full-length
adapters
in
all
five
expansion
slots;
however,
full-length,
double-width
adapters
will
not
fit
in
slot
5
and
are
not
supported.
None
of
the
expansion
slots
are
hot-plug.
v
The
32-bit
PCI
slot
1
supports
5.0
V
signaling
PCI
adapters;
it
does
not
support
3.3
V
signaling
adapters
or
64-bit
adapters.
v
The
64-bit
PCI-X
slots
2
through
5
support
3.3
V
signaling
PCI
or
PCI-X
adapters;
they
do
not
support
5.0
V
signaling
adapters.
v
The
PCI
bus
configuration
is
as
follows:
–
The
32-bit
PCI
slot
1
and
mini-PCI
slot
6
(for
the
IEEE
1394
controller)
are
on
the
33
MHz
PCI
bus.
Note:
If
your
computer
did
not
come
with
a
IEEE
1394
(FireWire)
adapter
installed
in
mini-PCI
slot
6,
do
not
install
an
adapter
in
this
slot.
It
is
not
supported.
–
The
64-bit
PCI-X
slots
2
and
3
and
the
integrated
Ethernet
controller
are
on
the
100
MHz
PCI-X
bus,
channel
A.
–
The
64-bit
PCI-X
slots
4
and
5
and
the
integrated
SCSI
controller
with
RAID
capabilities
are
on
the
100
MHz
PCI
bus,
channel
B.
If
an
optional
ServeRAID-5i
controller
is
installed,
it
overrides
the
standard
functionality
of
the
integrated
SCSI
controller
with
RAID
capabilities
and
forces
PCI-X
slots
4
and
5
to
66
MHz.
v
The
optional
ServeRAID-5i
controller
can
be
installed
only
in
PCI-X
slot
4
and
must
use
the
3-U
bracket
that
comes
preinstalled
on
the
controller.
v
To
provide
failover
protection,
an
optional
Ethernet
adapter
can
be
installed
only
in
PCI-X
slots
2
through
5.
v
Installing
an
optional
RAID
adapter
in
your
computer
will
require
that
you
reload
the
operating
system
and
applications
that
came
pre-installed
on
your
computer.
v
The
system
scans
the
AGP
slot,
mini-PCI
slot
6,
PCI
expansion
slot
1,
and
PCI-X
expansion
slots
2
through
5
to
assign
system
resources.
Then,
the
system
starts
the
PCI
devices
in
the
following
order,
if
you
have
not
changed
the
default
startup
sequence:
AGP
slot,
mini-PCI
slot
6,
PCI
expansion
slot
