I/O Cards

The I/O slots located on the rear panel of the J5xxx and J7xxx workstations are 64-bit PCI
(Peripheral Connect Interface) slots, providing I/O expansion capabilities for the J5xxx and
J7xxx workstations. There are five PCI-2X slots, two PCI-4X slots, and one slot for power
only. The I/O slots are defined as follows:
1. Power only op slot
– T
2. PCI-2X (5V, 33 MHz)
3. PCI-2X (5V, 33 MHz)
4. PCI-4X (3.3V, 66 MHz)
5. PCI-2X (5V, 33 MHz)
6. PCI-2X (5V, 33 MHz)
7. PCI-4X (3.3V, 66 MHz)
8. PCI-2X (5V, 33 MHz)
NOTE Slot 1 is reserved for power only and should not be used for an I/O card. Also
note that slot 7 is the primary preferred graphics slot, and slot 4 is the
secondary preferred graphics slot.
The following are configuration guidelines for installing I/O cards in the J5xxx or J7xxx:
• Put graphics cards into slot 7 first and slot 4 second. A graphics card can be added to
any slot that physically has room once slots 7 and 4 are used.
Note, however, that slots 7 and 4 may be used for very high-bandwidth, general I/O
cards when not needed for graphics.
• Put I/O cards into slot 2 first, slot 8 second, slot 3 third, slot 5 fourth, and slot 6 fifth.
• Do not put any I/O card into slot 1, as that slot is reserved for power only.
CAUTION The J5xxx and J7xxx workstations supply about 264 Watts of power to the
PCI slots. Do not insert I/O cards that together draw more than 264 Watts, or
damage to the workstation may result.
NOTE If you install three HP V
the HP V
imposed on the remaining I/O slots. Each of these graphics cards, while
electrically connected to only one I/O slot, takes the physical space of two
slots, and each card draws about 78 Watts. So, three of these graphics cards
will occupy six of the eight I/O slots and will draw 234 Watts altogether,
leaving only about 30 Watts for the remaining two slots combined, should
those two slots be used.
