[Asterisk-Users] Dell PowerEdge 2850

[Darren Reilly]

Dell website 

Useguide has the info and its:

Expansion Bus 
 
Bus type 
 PCI-X, PCI Express 
 
Expansion slots via riser card cage:
  
 
PCI-X
 one 3.3-V, 64-bit, 100-MHz or three 3.3-V, 64 bit, 133MHz 
 
PCI Express
one x4 lane width 
one x8 lane width

I would have thought the dell website would have been the first place to look.Took less than 2 mins to get the relevant info I cannot believe tech support couldn't give you that information.

Der PE2850 bietet eine Auswahl aus zwei E/A-Riser-Karten:

o E/A-PCI-Riser-Karte (3 PCI-X-Steckplätze: 3 x 64 Bit/133 Mhz) oder

o E/A-PCI-Riser-Karte (2 PCI Express-Steckplätze: 1 x8-Lane und 1 
x4-Lane, beide mit x8-Anschlüssen, und 1 PCI-X-Steckplatz: 1x 64 Bit/100 
MHz)

Both riser cards only have 64 Bit PCI slots. I think 64 bit is always 
3.3 Volt - isn't it?

klaus
