C.1.8.3 Graphics and PCI Card Options
For maximum system performance, the following graphics cards and all 33 MHz PCI
options must be installed in PCI card slot 2, 3, or 4 on PCI Bus B (33 MHz Bus):
Sun Expert3D
Sun Expert3D-Lite
Sun PGX64
SunATM/P 155 MMF adapter
SunATM/P 155 UTP5 adapter
SunATM/P 622 MMF adapter
Note – Installing a 33 MHz card into a 66 MHz extended peripheral component
interconnect (EPCI) slot J2301 decreases system performance.
C.1.8.4 Sun Expert3D and Expert3D-Lite Graphics Cards
A software patch is required when two Sun Expert3D or Expert3D-Lite graphics
cards are installed in a Sun Blade 1000 or Sun Blade 2000 workstation. This software
patch prevents system lockup of the CPUs when processing data between two
Expert3D or Expert3D-Lite graphics cards. The software patch number is 108576-08
and is downloaded when you install the Sun Expert3D or Expert3D-Lite software
provided with the graphics card installation kit. Check for the latest patch level by
