HP xw8600 Slot Configurations
This section describes qualified and recommended slot configurations for HP xw8600.
Slot Configuration for HP xw8600
HP xw8600: ATTO Celerity FC-41RL/FC-41ES PCIe Host Card to 4 GB Unity
MediaNetwork
Notes:
Slot 1: This slot shares the same bus as the built-in Texas Instruments 1394 controller. Do not use a
1394 HBA for storage in slot 1 if an Avid video peripheral or FireWire drive(s) are connected to the
host 1394 ports.
Slot 7: This slot shares the same bus as the embedded SAS 1068 controller. Installation of any non-
specified HBA into this slot (in particular a PCI 32-bit/33MHz HBA) will result in severely degraded
performance of the SAS controller. Use only specified HBAs in this slot.
