• PCI slots 1 and 6 support half-length PCI adapters only.
• PCI slots 2, 3, 4, and 5 support full-length and half-length PCI adapters.
• The PCI Express extender card supports a full-length adapter.
• The PCI-X extender card supports two full-length adapters.
• PCI slots 1 and 5 support the RAID adapters.
• PCI slot 2 supports a VGA adapter.
• The PCI configuration:
– Slot 1 is a PCI Express x8 slot with x8 links, PCI Express Base Specification Revision 2.0 compliant.
– Slot 2 is a PCI Express x16 slot with x8 links, PCI Express Base Specification Revision 2.0 compliant.
– Slots 3 and 4 are PCI Express x8 slots with x4 links, PCI Express Base Specification Revision 2.0
compliant.
– Slot 5 is a PCI Express x8 slot with x8 links, PCI Express Base Specification Revision 2.0 compliant.
– Slot 6 is a PCI 33/32 slot, PCI 2.2 compliant.
– PCI Express extender card slot 7 is a PCI Express x8 slot with x4 links, PCI Express 1.0a compliant.
Note: The PCI Express extender card comes standard on the ThinkServer TD200x server.
– PCI-X extender card slots 7 and 8 are a PCI-X slots with 64/32 bits, 133/100/66 MHz from PXH.
• The system scans PCI slots 1 through 6 to assign system resources. The system then starts (boots) the
system devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default boot precedence: integrated
Ethernet controller, ServeRAID-BR10i SAS Controller, and then PCI, PCI-X, and PCI Express slots.
Note: To change the boot precedence for PCI and PCI-X devices, start the Setup Utility and select
Start Options from the main menu. See the "Starting the Setup Utility" on page 240 for details about
using the Setup Utility.
• The server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters so that you can install PCI
adapters that do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered on
might cause the server to stop, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem,
always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server
with the power on.
To install an adapter, do the following:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page Safety information.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
Remove the left-side cover (see Removing the left-side cover for more information).
3. See the documentation that comes with the adapter for any cabling instructions and information about
jumper or switch settings. (It might be easier for you to route cables before you install the adapter.)
4. Open the rear adapter-retention bracket.
5. Remove the expansion-slot cover.
