PCI/PCI-X/PCIe Configurations

This section contains the following topics:

“PCI/PCI-X IOBP” (page 194)

“PCI/PCI-X/PCIe IOBP” (page 196)

“Shared Slots” (page 197)

PCI/PCI-X IOBP

The following describes configuration requirements for slots 1 through 10 on the PCI/PCI-X/ I/O
backplane:

PCI-X slots 1 and 2 are reserved for use by the core I/O cards SAS core I/O cards and the
Gigabit Ethernet LAN core I/O card. Slots 1 and 2 are not hot-pluggable. Install only
supported PCI-X SAS and LAN core I/O cards in slots 1 and 2. Depending upon the number
and type of SAS core I/O cards installed on the system, the Gigabit Ethernet LAN core I/O
card may be installed in slot 10.

Slots 3 and 4 are nonshared slots. The maximum speed for cards in slots 3 and 4 is PCI-X
266 MHz.

Slots 5 and 6 are nonshared slots. The maximum speed for cards in slots 5 and 6 is PCI-X
133 MHz.

Slots 7, 8, 9, and 10 are shared slots. These four slots are limited by bus-mode or
frequency-related incompatibilities. If you use different modes, such as PCI instead of PCI-X,
or different card speeds in a shared bus environment, the slot automatically downgrades to
the lesser mode or speed. The maximum capability of each slot is PCI-X 66 MHz. See

“Shared

Slots” (page 197)

for more information.

PCI/PCI-X Card Path Logging

Some PCI/PCI-X failures result in I/O path logging. These paths

help to indicate the source of the error and can be included in the error message or logged into
console or event logs.

Table 6-1

describes the PCI/PCI-X I/O paths for the server.
