Chapter 6
Four PCI slots (P7-P10) support full-length 32 or 64-bit boards at clock
rates of 66 or 33 MHz. These slots only support boards with +3.3 VDC
power and Universal boards. These slots have keys in the lower half of the
board slot to prevent boards without +3.3 volt power from being inserted
into the slots.
The default bus speeds for slots 7-10 can be changed to 66 MHz in the
Setup Utility. However, if a 33 MHz PCI adapter board is inserted into the
bus, then the bus speed (at boot time) will be downgraded to 33 MHz.
NOTE
The HP NetServer has 4 Bus controllers handling four busses,
0, 1, 2, and 3 (default). If a DAC board or a similar type
controller is installed, additional buses are automatically
reassigned, up to 6 busses.
