Servers - Why is the ServeRAID 3H controller longer than the PCI Slots in the Server?
Applicable to: World-Wide
Question: Why is the ServeRAID 3H controller longer than the PCI slots in the server?
Answer: The IBM ServeRAID 3H controller is a 32\64 bit PCI controller. This basically means that it can function as a 32-bit or 64-bit controller depending on what type of slot it is installed in.
-If the ServeRAID 3H adapter is plugged into a 64 bit slot, it will function as a 64 bit controller.
-If the ServeRAID 3H controller is plugged into a 32-bit PCI slot you will notice that the controller's slot connector is longer than the 32-bit PCI slot. This is expected. The ServeRAID 3H will function as a 32-bit adapter with no performance degradation.
