Slots 1 and 2 are reserved for the rp54xx LAN/SCSI and GSP (Guardian Service Processor)
Core I/O cards, respectively. Slots 1 and 2 are non-Turbo slots. Non-Turbo slots share a
single 250MB/s PCI bus. Non-Turbo slots are incapable of HotPlug functionality. The server
must be turned off prior to removing or installing the LAN/SCSI or GSP cards in these slots.

Slots 3 - 6 are non-Turbo slots. These four Non-Turbo slots share a single 250MB/s PCI bus,
run at 33MHz and support 32 and 64-bit PCI cards. Non-Turbo slots are incapable of HotPlug
functionality. The server must be turned off prior to removing or installing PCI cards in
these slots.

Slots 7 - 12 are Turbo slots. Each Turbo slot has a dedicated 250MB/s PCI bus, run at 66MHz
and support 32 and 64-bit PCI cards. Turbo slots are HotPlug capable. Below each Turbo
slot is a plastic PCI card separator. The PCI card separator has two LEDs and a pull tab on
the outer edge. The LED's provide power and status for the slot. The pull tab allows the PCI
card to be easily removed.

rp5400 servers can access PCI slots 1,2 and 8-12. rp5450/3000 servers can access all PCI slots.

in non-Turbo slots (1-6) while DC voltage is present. Failure to observe this warning may
result in damage to the server.
