2 – QLA4000/4000C Specifications Q ■ PCI connectors vary among system HBA manufacturers. The QLA40xx HBA is a 64-bit PCI device that can function in a 32-bit PCI slot; the slot conforms to the PCI specification (the rear edge of the PCI slot is notched). If you try to install the QLA40xx HBA into a PCI slot that does not conform to the PCI specification, you may damage the QLA40xx HBA. ■ PCI and PCI-X slots look the same. If the PC contains both PCI and PCI-X slots, refer to the PC manufac
