PCIe adapter placement rules and slot priorities for the 8001-12C or 8005-12N system
Find information about the placement rules and slot priorities for the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) adapters that are supported for the IBM® Power® System S821LC (8001-12C) or the IBM CS821 (8005-12N).
PCIe slot descriptions
The 8001-12C and 8005-12N systems provide PCIe
generation 3 slots. Full-length, half-length, or short (low-profile) adapters can be installed.
Figure 1 shows the rear view of the system
with the PCIe adapter slots. Table 1 lists the PCIe adapter slot locations and details for the 8001-12C or 8005-12N system.
Important: The only two adapters that are currently supported on the 8005-12N are FC EKFH and
AOC-S3008L-L8e-P.

| 2 (UIO Slot1) | PCIe3 x16 | Processor Module 1, PHB0 | Half-height, half-length, internal | Yes |
| 3 (PLX Slot1) | PCIe3 x8 | Processor Module 1, PHB0 | Half-height, half-length | No |
| 4 (WIO Slot1) | PCIe3 x16 | Processor Module 2, PHB1 | Full-height, full-length | Yes |
| 5 (WIO Slot2) | PCIe3 x16 | Processor Module 2, PHB1 | Full-height, full-length | Yes |
PCIe adapter placement rules
Use this information to select slots for installing PCIe adapters in the 8001-12C or 8005-12N system. Table 2 provides information about the adapters, the slot priorities in the system they are supported on, and the maximum number of adapters that can be installed in the supported system. You can click the link that appears in the feature code column for more technical information specific to the PCIe adapter.
