Option Boards
The following sections describe how to install and remove ISA and PCI option
boards. The system I/O board has four dedicated 64-bit PCI bus expansion slots,
three dedicated 32-bit PCI expansion slots, one dedicated Hot Plug PCI bus
board for an additional four 32-bit hot-swappable PCI slots, and one ISA
expansion slot (see Figures 4-23 and 4-24.
The high-performance PCI local bus allows the adoption of newer networking
technology, such as 100 Mega-bit/second Ethernet NICs, with a minimum of
effort and without concern for I/O bottlenecks. The PCI local bus offers up to
133 Mega-byte/second bandwidth.
