Questions tagged [pci-x]

For questions regarding PCI-X (Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended) buses and adapters, not PCI-Express.

PCI-X is an enhancement to the 64-bit PCI bus. PCI-X devices operate at one of the following clock speeds: 66 Mhz, 133 Mhz, 266 Mhz, or 533 Mhz. PCI-X is backwards compatible and can run at slower speeds. Therefore, you can plug a PCI-X adapter into a PCI slot and it runs at a potentially slower PCI speed.

I have a 3.3 Volt PCI ethernet card working on a 5 Volt PCI slot. How is it possible?

This is the design for PCI slots: As you can see, there are 32/64 bits and 3.3/5 Volts. For what I know: 32 bits PCI cards can work in 64 bits slots of the same voltage. 64 bits PCI cards can work in 32 bits slots of the same voltage. I don't…

Is it possible to put a PCI-X card in a PCI slot?

By this, I mean is it possible to put a PCI-X card in a PCI slot? I heard from someone (who deals with servers all the time) that this is the case, however I may have misheard. Also, the card DOES fit, I'm wondering if they're electrically…

What is this strange slightly-longer PCI slot?

This is a picture of the board out of a Dell Optiplex 980, the board's part number being D441T: link to image The board clearly has two PCIe x16 slots (though one is wired with just four lanes, apparently), one PCIe x1 slot in the front (for a…

How to connect Ultrium 460 tape drive? (Ultra320 SCSI)

I have the opportunity to get, for nothing, an Ultrium 460 tape drive, and LOTS of tapes, which would give me enormous amounts of storage space to frivolously use on nothing at all. The problem is that it's a dual channel SCSI interface device that…

Is a 6 pin PCI-X power connector safe to use on a card that only requires 5 pins?

I know that on a 6 pin PCI-X power connector the spec says pin 2 can be disconnected. It is another 12v pin like pins 1 & 3. If my graphics card only requires a 5 pin connector, is it still safe to use a 6 pin?

What PCI Bus ID is 0x1?

I need to find what is connected at Bus id 0x1. On Linux doing lspci I got the bus ids in a different format such as 00:01.0. I guess these are same, just x is used instead of ':' in the first instance. Meaning Bus Id 0x1=00:01.0. Am I right? If not…
