PCI subsystem
As shown in Figure 3 on page 4, there are six full-length hot-swap PCI-X 2.0 slots internal to
the x366, and all are vacant in the standard models. All six slots have the following
characteristics:
򐂰 Separate bus from the other slots and devices (therefore, the speed of the adapter does
not affect the other adapters)
򐂰 PCI-X 2.0
򐂰 266 MHz (each supports lower speed adapters)
򐂰 64-bit (each supports 32-bit adapters as well)
򐂰 3.3 V
One additional dedicated PCI slot is reserved for the ServeRAID-8i adapter as described
below.
The PCI subsystem also supplies these I/O devices:
򐂰 Adaptec AIC-9410 Serial-attached SCSI (SAS) controller
򐂰 Broadcom dual port 5704 10/100/1000 Ethernet
򐂰 ATI 7000-M video controller (with 16 MB video memory)
򐂰 Three USB ports (one on the front panel, two on the rear)
򐂰 Optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine adapter (installed into a dedicated socket
on the I/O board)
򐂰 EIDE interface for the DVD-ROM drive
򐂰 Serial port
Note: There is no parallel port on the x366. For parallel port connections, use the
NetVista™ USB Parallel Printer Cable, part number 19K4164.
