Slot
2,
PCI
Express
x4
(x1)
Important:
The
x4
designation
in
parentheses
for
slot
2
identifies
an
x4
slot
that
is
designed
to
support
x4
and
x1
adapters
that
can
downshift
to
operate
at
the
x1
bandwidth.
For
example,
if
you
install
an
x4
adapter
in
slot
2
that
can
downshift
to
x1
bandwidth,
it
will
run
at
the
x1
bandwidth.
The
x4
connector
(slot
2)
can
be
used
for
x1
and
x4
adapters.
Check
the
information
that
comes
with
your
adapter
for
compatibility
information.

Some
server
models
come
with
a
mini-SAS/SATA
RAID
controller
installed.
The
SAS/SATA
RAID
controller
enables
integrated
RAID
level-0
and
level-1.
Some
models
also
come
with
a
ServeRAID-MR10i
SAS/SATA
controller
that
enables
integrated
RAID
level-5
capability.
v
The
ServeRAID-MR10i
SAS/SATA
controller
must
be
installed
in
slot
1,
PCI
Express
x8.
v
You
can
install
the
mini-PCI-X
enablement
card
or
the
mini-SAS/SATA
RAID
controller
in
the
mini-PCI
slot
on
the
system
board.
v
When
the
optional
mini-PCI-X
enablement
card
is
installed
in
the
mini-PCI
slot,
it
passes
PCI-X
signals
from
the
mini-PCI-X
Enablement
Card
to
PCI-X
slot
3.
v
When
the
optional
mini-PCI-X
enablement
card
is
installed
in
the
server,
the
server
cannot
support
RAID
level-0
and
level-1.
v
You
can
install
supported
full-length
adapters
in
slots
1
through
5
(depending
on
your
model).
v
The
64-bit
slot
3
supports
3.3
V
PCI-X
adapters.
v
The
32-bit
slots
4
and
5
support
5.0
V
keyed
PCI
adapters;
they
do
not
support
3.3
V
keyed
adapters.
Universal
adapters
are
supported
in
slots
4
and
5
if
they
are
universally
keyed.
v
An
optional
IBM
Remote
Supervisor

v
When
you
start
the
server
for
the
first
time
after
you
install
a
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine,
the
startup
process
will
take
several
minutes
longer
than
a
typical
startup.
v
The
server
scans
PCI
Express
x8
slot
1,
PCI
Express
x4
slot
2,
PCI-X
slot
3,
and
PCI
slots
4
and
5
to
assign
system
resources.
Then,

have
not
changed
the
default
startup
sequence:
PCI
