Installing a PCI Card

The Xserve has two PCI slots:

Â Slot 1, which accepts half-length (6.6 inch) PCI Express or PCI-X cards

Â Slot 2, which accepts full-length (9 inch) PCI Express cards

To install a card, you first insert it into a matching riser, and then install the riser into

the slot. The type of card you can install depends on the riser you use:

Â A PCI Express x16 riser can only go in slot 2, and accepts only PCI Express cards

Â A PCI Express x8 riser can only go in slot 1, and accepts only PCI Express cards

Â A PCI-X riser can only go in slot 1, and accepts only PCI-X cards
