Figure 1-12 PCI slot information
See 3.1.3, "PCI slot configuration" on page 44 for details on what adapters are
supported and in what combinations.
The PCI subsystem also supplies these I/O devices:
Two Wide Ultra320 SCSI ports, one internal and one external (LSI
LSI53C1030 chipset). This SCSI controller supports both single disks and
RAID-1 mirrored pairs of disks.
Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports (Broadcom 5704 chipset).
The x450 includes a dual-port Broadcom BCM5704 10/100/1000 Base-T
MAC (Media Access Controller) on a PCI 64-bit 66 MHz bus.
The BCM5704 supports full and half-duplex performance at all speeds
(10/100/1000 Mbps, auto-negotiated) and includes integrated on-chip
memory for buffering data transmissions to ensure the highest network
performance and dual onboard RISC processors for advanced packet parsing
and backwards compatibility with today's 10/100 network. The Broadcom
controller also includes software support for failover, layer-3 load balancing,
and comprehensive diagnostics.
Category 5 or better Ethernet cabling is required with RJ-45 connectors. If
you plan to implement a Gigabit Ethernet connection, ensure your network
infrastructure is capable of the necessary throughput to match the server's I/O
capacity.
SVGA with 8 MB video memory (ATI RageXL chipset).
