v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this section. If you need to change
the switch settings or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that
come with the adapter.
v Video adapters are not supported.
v Some full-length adapters have extension handles or brackets installed. Before
installing the adapter, you must remove the extension handle or bracket.
v Your server supports six hot-plug 64-bit adapters in the expansion slots on the
PCI-X board, as shown in the following table.

v You can install both PCI and PCI-X adapters on the same bus. However, if you
install a PCI adapter and a PCI-X adapter on the same bus, the PCI-X features
of the PCI-X adapter will be disabled, and the adapter will function as a PCI
adapter.
v You can install PCI or PCI-X adapters of speeds faster than what is labeled for a
particular PCI-X bus. For example, if you install two 133 MHz adapters into slots
that are labeled as 100 MHz slots, the adapters will operate at 100 MHz.
