The available 64-bit slot allows support for high performance (64-bit) SCSI Controllers, Array Controllers, Gigabit Ethernet Controllers and Fibre Channel Controllers. In addition, most 32-bit cards are supported in the 64-bit slot. Exceptions to this 3rd party PCI video card, which are only supported in the 32-bit slot (primary PCI bus). The slots in the ProLiant DL360 both support 33MHz speeds but will not support the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition. For full Lights-Out functionality of RILOE on the DL360 G2, Compaq offers the ProLiant Essentials Integrated Lights-Out Advance Pack. 66MHz cards will work in the 33MHz slot but they will run at the 33MHz speed.
