PCI/PCI-X/PCIe Configurations

PCI/PCI-X/PCIe slots are numbered from one through ten in the server
The following describes configuration requirements for slots 1 through 10 on the PCI/PCI-X/ I/O
backplane:
PCI-X slots 1 and 2 are reserved for use by the core I/O cards SAS core I/O cards and the
Gigabit Ethernet LAN core I/O card. Slots 1 and 2 are not hot-pluggable. Install only supported
PCI-X SAS and LAN core I/O cards in slots 1 and 2. PCIe SAS core I/O is installed in slots
3 and 4 on the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe IOBP. Depending upon the number and type of SAS core
I/O cards installed on the system, the Gigabit Ethernet LAN core I/O card may be installed
in slot 10.
Slots 3 and 4 are nonshared slots. The maximum speed for cards in slots 3 and 4 is PCI-X
266 MHz.
Slots 5 and 6 are nonshared slots. The maximum speed for cards in slots 5 and 6 is PCI-X
133 MHz.
Slots 7, 8, 9, and 10 are shared slots. These four slots are limited by bus-mode or
frequency-related incompatibilities. If you use different modes, such as PCI instead of PCI-X,
or different card speeds in a shared bus environment, the slot automatically downgrades to
the lesser mode or speed. The maximum capability of each slot is PCI-X 66 MHz.
