Note: Inside your server there are six PCI-X slots: two 66 MHz, two 100 MHz,
and two 133 MHz. Before attempting to install a new adapter, be sure
there is an available slot for it. If you need additional PCI-X slots, you
can purchase a remote expansion enclosure from your IBM marketing
representative or authorized reseller.
