On the DL380 g4 the standard cage was not hotswap and I think we don't have any of those. Looking at the product specs of a DL380 g3, it shows different bus for slot 1 (bottom at 64-bit/133Mhz PCI-X) against slot 2+3 (middle and top slot at 64-bit/100Mhz PCI-X). I got one DL380 g3 myself, which isn't running much right now, so I will check out what PCI devices I can see. -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-865-0204 You can find my resume at: http://www.Alameda.net/~ulf/resume.html
