Expansion Slots

The server has eleven 64-bit I/O expansion slots that are spread over three
separate buses.

The Primary Bus (slots 7-9) will support PCI expansion boards at
33 MHz.

The Secondary Bus (slots 1-6) will support PCI expansion boards at
33 MHz or PCI-X expansion boards up to 50 MHz.

The Tertiary Bus (slots 10-11) will support PCI expansion boards up to
66 MHz or PCI-X expansion boards up to 100 MHz.

NOTE: Most expansion boards will work in any slot selected, but optimum performance is
obtained when expansion boards are grouped by capability and placed in buses together.

NOTE: Compaq recommends installing 100-MHz PCI-X expansion boards in the Tertiary
Bus, and 66-MHz PCI-X expansion boards in the Secondary Bus.

Network Controller

Supports a dual-port 10/100 TX UTP controller on the PCI local bus. Features
of the controller include two RJ-45 connectors for 10BaseT or 100TX
Ethernet. For information about the network controller, refer to the Compaq
website at

http://www.compaq.com

Redundant Network Controller (NIC) software, located on the Compaq
Support Software CD, supports a redundant NIC configuration. This feature
may be used with one dual-port, two dual-port, or two single-port NICs.

NOTE: When not using the dual-port capabilities, install the terminator plug from the
second RJ-45 connector.
