xManaging PCI Adapters

Chapter 1. Managing PCI adapters
Learn about using and managing Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) adapters. Find specifications
and instructions for specific adapters.
The adapter information shown here is used during nondirected service activities. This information is
used to:
vIdentify an adapter
vFind specific technical information about an adapter
vWhere applicable, show special installation or cabling instructions
vShow signal names for the output pins of the adapter connectors
vWhere applicable, show the settings for switches or jumpers
Backplane daughter cards and RAID enablement cards that are not in the PCI form factor are not covered
in this topic. To find part numbers and location codes for these types of cards, see the Parts Information
topic. Alink to that topic can be found in this topic under Related references.
Adapters can be identified by their feature code (FC) or their custom-card identification number (CCIN).
Normally, the CCIN number is labeled on the adapter.
The FRU part number (P/N) of your adapter may not match the FRU P/N listed in this document. When
this occurs verify the CCIN is the same. If the CCIN is same, the adapter has the same function and can
be used in the same way.
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. See the PCI adapter placement or PCI
adapter placement for system-specific information on which slots are available and which adapters can be
placed in those slots.
PCI Express
PCI Express (PCIe) adapters use adifferent type of slot than PCI and PCI-X adapters. If you attempt to
force an adapter into the wrong type of slot, you may damage the adapter or the slot. APCI adapter can
be installed in aPCI-X slot, and aPCI-X adapter can be installed in aPCI adapter slot. APCIe adapter
cannot be installed in aPCI or PCI-X adapter slot, and aPCI or PCI-X adapter cannot be installed in a
PCIe slot. The following illustration shows an example of aPCI-X adapter (A)next to aPCIe x4 (B)
adapter.
PCIe adapters and slots come in 4different sizes: x1, x4, x8 and x16. Smaller size adapters will fit in
larger slots, but larger size adapters will not fit in smaller slots. The following table shows PCIe slot
compatibility.
