The server’s PCI-X expansion slots operate across four separate buses to enable
load balancing across multiple expansion boards. Four hot-plug slots provide
enhanced availability.
• Expansion slot speed LEDs
Internal LEDs associated with each PCI-X slot enable you to determine at a
glance whether the board in that slot is a PCI board or a PCI-X board, as well as
the speed at which the board is operating.
Embedded Network Interface Controller
The standard Network Interface Controller (NIC) provided with the server is an
NC3163 Embedded 10/100 Fast Ethernet NIC with the following features:
• Full duplex 10/100 MBps data transfer rate
• Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) support
• Wake On LAN (WOL) support
