Appendix A, Slot Design for Retired
Compaq ProLiant Servers
Retired Compaq ProLiant Servers
The PCI bus numbering scheme of four retired Compaq ProLiant server models are detailed in
this appendix.
Note: The features discussed in this section are not to be considered a complete description for
any of the server or option hardware. Refer to the specification for each product to learn more
about the complete feature set. This information is available on the Compaq website at

.
The ProLiant 6500 PCI bus numbering results are described in Configuration A. Discussion of
the ProLiant 5000 server is limited to the differences in the bus and slot design from the ProLiant
6000, ProLiant 6500, and ProLiant 7000 servers and how the bus numbering scheme is affected.
The ProLiant 6000 and ProLiant 7000 servers PCI bus numbering results are described in
Configuration B. The ProLiant 6000 and ProLiant 7000 servers share certain similarities in their
architecture and features. For this reason, these two servers were tested in the same scenario and
compared. Each server contains the dual-peer PCI buses architecture and the same Intel Pentium
Pro chip set.
ProLiant 5000
The ProLiant 5000 has a total of 8 slots: 5 PCI slots, 2 shared compatibility PCI/EISA slots;
and 1 EISA slot (see Figure 13).
Primary Bus:
Slot 5 is the first PCI slot detected in this
server configuration. Bus numbering
starts here then goes to slots 8, 7, and
6.
Secondary Bus:
Bus numbering continues down level to
Slots 4, 3 and 2.
