The number and position of the PCI slots varies, depending
on the type of motherboard that is installed:
- Integrated video and LAN: Up to four (4) port boards
can be installed in each MAS, depending on the type of board.
Starting from the side of the chassis, the available PCI slots
are 1, 2, 3, and 6. The CT bus cable has four connectors.
- Nonintegrated video and LAN: Up to five (5) port boards
might be installed in an MAS, depending on the type of board and
if the system was upgraded from Release 1. Starting from the side
of the chassis, the available PCI slots are 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2
(PCI slot 1 is always used for the NIC). The CT bus cable has
five connectors.
Note: Only systems that were upgraded from Release
1 support five (5) port boards, if five boards were installed
before the Release 2 upgrade. All new MASs support up to
four (4) port boards and use PCI slots 6, 5, 4, and 3.
