Model 8203-E4A and 8261-E4S servers
Some adapters must be placed in specific PCI, Peripheral
Component Interconnect-X (PCI-X), or PCI Express (PCIe) slots in order
to function correctly or perform optimally. Use this information to
determine where to install PCI adapters in the model 8203-E4Aand 8261-E4S.
Model 8204-E8A server Some adapters must be placed in specific Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI), Peripheral Component Interconnect-X
(PCI-X), or PCI Express (PCIe) slots to function correctly or to perform
optimally. Use this information to determine where to install PCI
adapters.
Model 8234-EMA server Some adapters must be placed in specific Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI), Peripheral Component Interconnect-X
(PCI-X), or PCI Express (PCIe) slots to function correctly or to perform
optimally. Use this information to determine where to install PCI
adapters.
Model 9117-MMA server Some adapters must be placed in specific Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI), Peripheral Component Interconnect-X
(PCI-X), or PCI Express (PCIe) slots to function correctly or to perform
optimally. Use this information to determine where to install PCI
adapters.
Model 9119-FHA server Some adapters must be placed in specific PCI
slots to function correctly or perform optimally. Use this information to
determine where to install PCI adapters.
Model 9125-F2A server Some adapters must be placed in specific Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI), Peripheral Component Interconnect-X
(PCI-X), or PCI Express (PCIe) slots to function correctly or to perform
optimally. Use this information to determine where to install PCI
adapters.
