PCIe adapter placement rules
Use this information to select slots for installing PCIe adapters in the system. Table 2 provides information about the adapters, the slot
priorities in the system they are supported on, and the maximum number of adapters that can be
installed in the supported system. The link that appears in the feature code column provides more
technical information specific to the PCIe
adapter.
