Slot Information

A slot, or expansion slot, allows components to be attached to a system using connection pinholes. The slot also provides a place to fit an expansion adapter or card that provides some specialized capability, such as remote access to a server, storage device control, or network connectivity.

If you insert a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) card into a hot-plug capable slot, it displays on your screen after you do a manual refresh of the Slots screen.

Slot ID Silk-screen name printed on the system board next to the slot; alphanumeric text uniquely identifies each slot in the system.

Adapter The name and/or type of the card that fits into the slot; for example, a storage array controller, Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) adapters, host bus adapters (HBA).
Data Bus Width Width of the information pathway between the components of a system. Data bus width range is 16 to 64 bits for PCI and PCI-X cards, and x1, x2, X4, X8 or X16 for PCI-E cards.
