PCIe Card Configuration

Language:

The table below lists the PCI Express (PCIe) cards that are supported for use with the Oracle Server X5-8.

Note the following restrictions:

Slots 13, 14, 15, and 16 cannot contain bootable devices such as HBAs or network boot devices.
No mixing of Emulex and Qlogic versions of the Sun Storage 16 Gb Fibre Channel PCIe Universal HBA in the system. Only one vendor's option card can be used per system.
If you mix Oracle Flash Accelerator F160 PCIe cards and Oracle Flash Accelerator F320 PCIe cards in the same system:
- Populate the Oracle Flash Accelerator F160 PCIe cards first.
- In an 8-CPU system, do not install more than four of either type of card.
Do not put two Oracle Quad 10 Gb or Dual 40 Gb Ethernet Adapter cards in the same dual PCIe card carrier (DPCC).
Oracle Quad 10 Gb or Dual 40 Gb Ethernet Adapter cards are not supported on servers with Oracle VM preinstall.
