    The P3TDLR has two 64-bit 66/33 MHz and two 32-bit 33 MHz PCI slots. However, the 6011L has only one 64/32-bit 33 MHz PCI slot available, since a riser card is used in 64PCI#1 slot to allow a full height PCI card to be used in a 1U chassis (such PCI cards are too long to fit within the chassis when the riser card is used in 4PCI#2 slot).

  • Page 32: General Safety Precautions

    General Safety Precautions Follow these rules to ensure general safety: Keep the area around the SuperServer 6011L clean and free of clutter. The SuperServer 6011L weighs approx. 26 lbs. (11.8 kg.) when fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight.

  • Page 33: Esd Precautions

    ESD Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD: Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
