v
You
can
install
both
PCI
and
PCI-X
adapters
on
the
same
bus.
However,
if
you
install
a
PCI
adapter
and
a
PCI-X
adapter
on
the
same
bus,
the
PCI-X
features
of
the
PCI-X
adapter
will
be
disabled,
and
the
adapter
will
function
as
a
PCI
adapter.
v
You
can
install
PCI
or
PCI-X
adapters
of
speeds
faster
than
what
is
labeled
for
a
particular
PCI-X
bus.
For
example,
if
you
install
two
133
MHz
adapters
into
slots
that
are
labeled
as
100
MHz
slots,
the
adapters
will
operate
at
100
MHz.
v
If
you
install
a
33
MHz
and
a
66
MHz
adapter
on
the
same
bus,
the
bus
speed
will
match
that
of
the
slowest
adapter.
v
If
a
single
133
MHz
adapter
is
installed
on
PCI-X
bus
B
(slots
3
and
4)
and
the
other
slot
on
PCI-X
bus
B
is
empty,
the
adapter
will
operate
at
133
MHz.
v
The
server
scans
PCI-X
slots
in
the
following
order:
the
xSeries
450
integrated
devices
are
scanned
first;
then,
PCI-X
slots
1,
2,
6,
5,
3,
and
4.
If
an
RXE-100
enclosure
is
attached
to
an
xSeries
450
server,
the
scan
order
is
as
follows:
the
xSeries
450
integrated
devices
are
scanned
first;
then,
PCI-X
slots
1,
2,
6,
5,
3,
and
4;
then,
the
RXE-100
PCI
slots
11,
12,
9,
10,
7,
8,
17,
18,
15,
16,
13,
and
14.

Your
server
supports
3.3
V
and
universal
adapters;
it
does
not
support
5.0
V
adapters.

the
following
steps
to
install
an
adapter:
1.

2.
Disable
the
PCI-X
slot
through
your
operating
system
before
you
insert
or
remove
a
PCI
or
PCI-X
adapter.
Note:
Some
operating
systems
do
not
support
the
enabling
and
disabling
of
a
PCI-X
slot.
If
your
operating
system
does
not
support
this
function,
turn
off
the
