I/O Interface Configuration Rules
•
The bridge module connects the system motherboard to the PCI motherboard; it
is in slot IOD0/1 on the system motherboard.
•
The VGA module must be in a PCI0 slot.
•
The PCI motherboard supports two PCI 64-bit buses and one EISA bus.
PCI and EISA Slots
As shown in Figure 1–18, the PCI motherboard has five dedicated PCI slots and three
slot pairs with connectors for a PCI option and an EISA option. You can install an
option into only one member of each pair. Maximum configurations are:
•
Eight PCI options using the dedicated PCI slots and the PCI connectors in the
three slot pairs. No EISA options can be installed with this configuration.
•
Five PCI options using the dedicated PCI slots and three EISA options using
EISA connectors on the three slot pairs.
NOTE: Multicard options, such as the CIPCA-AA storage adapter, which uses both
one PCI and one EISA slot, or the CIPCA-BA, which uses two PCI slots, take up two
of the eight available option slots.

The server control module, located at the rear of the system drawer, has ports for the
following devices: terminal (COM1), keyboard, mouse, printer, modem, 12V power,
and an additional communications port (COM2). See Figure 1–14.
