PCIe Slot Configuration Guidelines

Use the guidelines in

TABLE: Supported CMP/Memory Module Configurations on

page 104

to spread the load evenly across CMP/memory modules. If a slot is already

populated with a device, install a new device in the next available slot, in the order
indicated.

External I/O Expansion Unit PCIe Link cards must be placed in a PCIe slot with a
CMP/memory module pair present as follows:

PCIe Slots 0 and 1 require CMP/Memory pair 0.

PCIe Slots 4 and 5 require CMP/Memory pair 1.

PCIe Slots 2 and 3 require CMP/Memory pair 2.

PCIe Slots 6 and 7 require CMP/Memory pair 3.
