Model 800 PCI cards and features

The Model 800 is a PCI-based technology system. The number of PCI cards that
can be supported in a Model 800 depends on whether an I/O tower is attached
and the number of PCI slots. PCI card placement rules and logical partition
(LPAR) configuration considerations also affect the number of slots supported.
PCI hot plugging is not allowed.
See the table on page 96 for the number of maximum features supported by the
total system and in the Model 800 system unit. See Chapter 17, "iSeries I/O
processors" on page 319, and Chapter 18, "iSeries I/O adapters and controllers"
on page 339, for full descriptions about the features that are supported. See "Not
all features are supported on all models. Some features may be withdrawn but
are in the table for reference. AIX specific adapters are not described in this
book." on page 344 for supported Linux Direct Attach features.
Note: The placement of PCI cards follows special rules. Refer to "PCI card
technology" on page 340 and PCI Card Placement Rules for the IBM
Eserver iSeries Server Version 5 Release 2, REDP-3638, before you
propose any configuration.
