The table view, Figure 5-6, provides a summary of all of the slot and adapter
information in one frame.

Not visible to the left of the information shown is a column that shows the chassis
that the slots are associated with. The columns in this view are similar to the
attributes in the tree view and slot view.

5.1.2 Adding adapters to the system

The process of adding an adapter to an x440 using Active PCI Manager is
straightforward. As an example, let’s add two adapters to our system:

IBM Gigabit Ethernet SX Adapter
QLogic QLA2300 PCI Fibre Channel Adapter

Our configuration has a ServeRAID adapter installed in slot 2 of the x440 and an
RXE-100 attached. The operating system is installed on the ServeRAID attached
disks.

Note: The x440 and RXE-100 only support 3.3 V PCI and PCI-X adapter. 5 V
adapters are not supported.
