Installing Pci Expansion Cards - Gateway 980 User Manual

Installing PCI expansion cards

Your server uses the PCI-X bus. Use the following chart to determine the PCI slot
you should install your expansion card into.
PCI slot Description
1 Always runs at 64-bit/66 MHz. Supports 32-bit and 64-bit cards, 3.3 V or universal.
2-3 Paired slots. When only one card is installed in a slot of this pair, the slot can run
at 64-bit/133 MHz. When two 64-bit/100 MHz cards are installed in this pair, the slot
can run at 64-bit/100 MHz. When cards of different speeds are installed in this pair,
each slot runs at the slowest of the two speeds. Supports both 32-bit and 64-bit
cards, 3.3 V or universal.
