Installing an adapter
The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and other information that
you must consider when installing an adapter. Adapter that the server supports might vary, depending
on your server model.
• Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the
instructions in this section. If you must change the switch setting or jumper settings on the adapter,
follow the instructions that come with the adapter.
• Read the documentation that comes with your operating system.
• Use PCI slot 2 for video adapters.
• Do not set the maximum digital video adapter resolution above 1600 x 1200 at 60 Hz for an LCD monitor.
This is the highest resolution that is supported for any add-on video adapter that you install in the server.
• Any high-definition video-out connector or stereo connector on any add-on video adapter is not supported
• The server provides up to eight adapter connectors, or slots as follows (depending on your server model):
Note: The x8 (x4) designation for slot 3 (for example) identifies an x8 slot that is designed to support x8
adapters and x4 adapters that can downshift to operate at the x4 bandwidth. If you install an x8 adapter
in slot 3 that can downshift to the x4 bandwidth, it will run at the x4 bandwidth. The x8 connector can be
used for x4 and x8 adapters. These same rules apply to the other PCI slots also. Check the information
that comes with your adapter for compatibility information.
– Slots on the system board:
– Slot 1, PCI Express Gen 2 x8 (x8)
