IBM Eserver xSeries 366 Technical Introduction 19
x366 PCI slots
As shown in Figure 3 on page 4, there are six full-length 64-bit PCI-X slots.
Figure 10 PCI-X slots
The six slots all support hot-plug PCI-X 3.3 V, 32-bit or 64-bit PCI, and PCI-X 2.0 adapters.
Further configuration information includes:
򐂰 Video adapters are not supported.
򐂰 The PCI slots support 3.3 V adapters only. 5 V adapters, such as the Adaptec2944UW,
are not supported.
򐂰 The system scans PCI-X slots to assign system resources. The system attempts to start
the first device found. The search order is as follows:
a. DVD-ROM
b. Integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet controller
c. Integrated SAS devices
d. Internal PCI and PCI-X slots (in the order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
Broadcom dual Gigabit Ethernet controller
The x366 offers a dual Gigabit Ethernet controller integrated standard in the system. The
x366 includes one dual-port Broadcom BCM5704 10/100/1000 BASE-T MAC (Media Access
Controller) on the PCI-X 64-bit 100 MHz bus. The BCM5704 has the following features:
򐂰 Supports full and half-duplex performance at all speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps,
auto-negotiated)
򐂰 Includes integrated on-chip memory for buffering data transmissions to ensure the highest
network performance
Restriction: The x366 does not support the connectivity to external PCI slot enclosures
such as the RXE-100.
