  • Page 14: Documentation Errata

    The table in the “About Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Buses” section of the Sun Fire 280R Server Owner’s Guide incorrectly states that PCI slot 4 is 32 bits wide and that it can accommodate only 32-bit-wide PCI cards. The correct information is that PCI slot 4 is 64 bits wide and can accommodate both 32-bit and 64-bit PCI cards.
