Pci And Pci-X Expansion Boards; Slot Architecture - HP ML570 - ProLiant - G2 Setup And Installation Manual

PCI-X Technology

PCI and PCI-X Expansion Boards

The server supports the installation of both PCI and PCI-X expansion boards. It is
important to note that:
•
PCI expansion boards are designed to a peak frequency of no more than 66 MHz.
•
PCI-X expansion boards are designed to a peak frequency of at least 100 MHz.

Slot Architecture

Each of the seven PCI-X expansion slots in the server operates at a maximum
frequency of 100 MHz and is managed across four data buses. The server facilitates
load balancing by having no more than two slots per bus. Figure 4-1 and Table 4-1
identify the PCI-X expansion slots and buses.
