Working With Adapters; Adapter Considerations - IBM xSeries 200 Hardware Maintenance Manual

To reinstall the support bracket assembly, reverse the
previous steps.

Working with adapters

Your server comes with adapter connectors, called slots.
The AGP video adapter is installed in the AGP slot. You
can install up to five PCI adapters in PCI slots 1 through 5.
All PCI expansion slots are 32-bit, 33 MHz slots.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly
from your hardware.
The following illustration shows the location of the system
expansion slots on the system and PCI extender boards.

Adapter considerations

Before you install an adapter, review the following:
v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter
and follow those instructions in addition to the
instructions given in this chapter. If you need to change
the switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the
instructions that come with the adapter.
v You can install full-length adapters in all five PCI
expansion slots.
v The server supports 5.0 V and universal PCI adapters; it
does not support 3.3 V adapters.
v Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to
configure PCI adapters. Because of this technique, you
can install a variety of PCI adapters that currently do not
support sharing of PCI interrupts.
