I/O Cards

The I/O slots located on the rear panel of the J5000 and J7000 workstations are 64-bit PCI
(Peripheral Connect Interface) slots, providing I/O expansion capabilities for the J5000
and J7000 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 J5000 or J7000:
• 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.
See the section titled "I/O Cards" on page 121 for details on installing I/O cards.
CAUTION The J5000 and J7000 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.
