Expanding Your Server
4-24
Installing Expansion Boards
Your Prioris XL server contains eight slots for installing up to seven EISA
or PCI expansion boards. Five of the slots support industry-standard 32-bit
EISA expansion boards. The remaining three expansion slots support 32-
bit PCI local bus expansion boards. This enables your server to deliver
maximum performance by using a faster data path for greater computing
speed. It also improves the expandability of your server.
NOTE: When installing expansion boards, always read the
accompanying documentation for server memory address
and IRQ requirements. Compare that information to the
server memory and IRQ requirements in the appropriate
CPU module specifications booklet. If conflicts are de-
tected, you must configure the expansion board to alternate
settings.
