HP Netserver Service Handbook, Volume 1 - Low End

I/O Board

This HP NetServer contains six ISA- and PCI-compatible slots which provide the capability of adding

accessory boards, such as disk controller boards and network interface boards.

NOTE A board can be identified as ISA or PCI by the bracket-offset angle and the unique

slot connector.

System Board slot

Slot 1—16-bit ISA (half-length)

or 32-bit PCI

Slot 2—32-bit PCI

Slot 3—32-bit PCI

Slot 4—16-bit ISA (half-length)

or 32-bit PCI

Slot 5—16-bit ISA

Slot 6—16-bit ISA

These slots allow you to install accessory boards as follows:

• Slot 1 (the innermost) can be used for a short 16-bit ISA board or a 32-bit PCI board.

• Slots 2 and 3 can be used for 32-bit PCI boards.

• Slot 4 can be used for a full-length 16-bit ISA board or a 32-bit PCI board.

• Slots 5 and 6 can be used for full-length 16-bit ISA boards

The NetServer comes with a SCSI card preinstalled and configured in Slot 1, and network interface card

preinstalled and configured in Slot 3.

NOTE If you are manually configuring an accessory board, avoid using COM1 and COM4, if

possible, due to the possibilities of resource conflicts with some application software

programs.
