Configuration limitations have been established to help ensure appropriate
PCI or PCI-X bus loading, adapter addressing, and system and adapter
functional characteristics when ordering I/O drawers.
I/O drawer limitations, in addition to individual adapter limitations, are shown
in the feature descriptions section of the Sales Manual.
Only EEH adapters are supported in a partitioned server.
