Changing Your Computer's Hardware Configuration
Installing a PCI-Type I/O Board
2, drawing power and sending/receiving data, and daughter board in Slot
1, drawing only power—is supported. On the other hand, a standalone
card that draws power and sends/receives data would be supported in
Slot 2 but not Slot 1. Note that a two-card sandwich "in" Slot 7 means
that the bottom card is in Slot 7, and top card is in Slot 6.
For non-graphics cards, insert them in this order: Slot 2, then 8, 3, 5, and
finally 6. If Slots 7 and 4 are not needed for graphics cards, they can be
used for very-high-bandwidth general I/O.
The J5xxx and J7xxx supply approximately 264 watts of power to the
PCI slots. Thus, if you use three HP V
simultaneously (in Slots 7, 4, and 2), as in the HP V
configuration, there are some power constraints imposed on the
remaining slots. Each HP V
connected to only one slot, takes the physical space of two, and each card
draws about 78 watts. So, three
PCI slots and will draw 234 watts altogether, leaving only about 30 watts
for the remaining two slots combined, should you choose to use them. Do
not insert PCI cards that together draw more than 264 watts, or damage
to your computer may result.
PCI card edge connectors have one or two small notches in them (see
illustration below). The 3.3-volt notch indicates that the card can operate
properly on 3.3 volts, and the 5-volt notch indicates that the card can
operate properly on 5 volts. As you might expect, notches in both
locations indicates that the card is a universal PCI card; that is, it will
operate properly on either voltage.
