integrated SCSI devices; and PCI-X slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. If an RXE-100
enclosure is attached to the server, the scan continues in sequence with PCI
slots 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18.
Note: You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to change the
sequence and have the server scan one of the first six PCI slots before it
scans the integrated devices. You cannot change the scan sequence of
the PCI slots in an RXE-100 enclosure.
