PCIe Slot Configuration Guidelines

You can install up to eight low-profile PCIe in the system. All slots are wired to x8 PCIe lanes. Slot 1 and Slot 7 support graphics cards with x16 connectors. Slot 4 and Slot 5 also support 10-Gbyte Ethernet cards (XAUI cards). When a XAUI card is installed, a PCIe card cannot be installed in the same slot.

If you are installing a XAUI card, note the following:

Use the following guidelines to spread the load evenly across CMP/memory modules. If a slot is already populated with a device, install a new device in the next available slot, in the order indicated.

PCIe/XAUI Card Type
Number of CMP/Memory Modules
Installation Order
Notes
10 GBit Ethernet (XAUI) card
1, 2, 3 or 4
Slot 4, 5
Install XAUI cards first.
External I/O Expansion Unit PCIe Link card
2
Slot 0, 4, 1, 5
Maximum of 4 cards; install in order shown.
4
Slot 0, 4, 2, 6, 1, 5, 3, 7
Maximum of 8 cards; install in order shown.
All other devices
1
Slot 0, 1, 2, 3
Maximum of 4 cards; install in order shown.

PCIe Slots 4, 5, 6, and 7 are unavailable in 1P systems.

Both XAUI Slots 0 and 1 are available in 1P systems.

2
Slot 0, 4, 1, 5, 2, 6, 3, 7
Maximum of 8 cards; install in order shown.
4
Slot 0, 4, 2, 6, 1, 5, 3, 7
Maximum of 8 cards; install in order shown.

Note - These are guidelines to spread out the I/O load across multiple CMP/memory module pairs. These are not configuration restrictions.


External I/O Expansion Unit PCIe Link cards must be placed in a PCIe slot with a CMP/memory module pair present as follows:
