PCIe Card Configuration
For optimal load balancing, install the PCIe cards in this order: Slot 3, 16, 4, 15, 7, 12, 8, 11, 1,
14, 5, 10, 2, 13, 6, 9.
You may populate the PCIe slots in a different order to satisfy LDom or redundant failover
considerations, but load balancing might not be as efficient. For example, you may distribute
PCIe cards evenly across available root complexes.
