PCIe adapter placement rules and slot priorities for the 9006-22P system

Find information about the placement rules and slot priorities for the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) adapters that are supported for the IBM® Power® System LC922 (9006-22P).

PCIe slot descriptions

The 9006-22P system provides PCIe generation 4 slots. Full-length, half-length or short (low-profile) adapters can be installed. Figure 1 shows the rear view of the system with the PCIe adapter slots. Table 1 lists the PCIe adapter slot locations and details for the 9006-22P system.
