System Configurations and PCI Slot Availability System Configurations and PCI Slot Availability Express5800/320Ma systems contain two CPU- I ⁄ O enclosures, each of which contains a CPU element and an I/O element. The duplication of enclosures provides redundancy in components such as processors, hard drives, PCI slots, and certain I/O ports. PCI slots are logically associated with the I/O elements. Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz systems contain one low-profile PCI slot in each enclosure, for a t

Paired PCI Slots and Duplex Operation of PCI Adapters No slots are reserved; however, you can install full-height PCI adapters only in slot 2 or slot 3. See the Hardware Requirements section in each chapter for specific installation recommendations for each adapter. NOTE You must insert PCI-slot filler panels in empty PCI slots to maintain proper airflow. Figure 1-1.

General References NOTE If you remove a simplexed PCI adapter, or if it fails, communications for applications related to that adapter will terminate. Removing one of two duplexed PCI adapters, however, will not affect communications. To increase the fault tolerance of a system, always install PCI adapters for critical applications in paired slots, and ensure that the adapters are marked as duplexed in ftSMC. Duplex and simplex mode are also indicated on the PCI slot status LEDs that are

Hardware Requirements of Ethernet PCI Adapters Requirements and configuration procedures for the embedded Ethernet PCI adapters are similar to the procedures for the other Ethernet PCI adapters. Hardware Requirements of Ethernet PCI Adapters For fault tolerance, install Ethernet PCI adapters that are in the same team in different I/O elements. Although teamed Ethernet PCI adapters in the same I/O element are marked as duplexed in ftSMC, they are not fault tolerant. If the I/O element fails, o
