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. NOTE: See the
Systems User's Guide for details. |
---|---|
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. |
To view information on an adapter card that occupies a particular slot, see Adapter.
