Re: [asterisk-users] PCI, PCI-X and PCI-e -- Server / Interface Card Selection
The Digium TE410P base card does indeed work in PCI-X slots. We're using two of the TE412P's in a PCI-X server with no problems :) On Sun, 2006-12-10 at 00:10 -0500, Time Bandit wrote: I can't risk spending a few thousand just to reach the conclusion that Digium's PRI or BRI cards do not work with a particular system's PCI-X slots/bus...

[asterisk-users] PCI, PCI-X and PCI-e -- Server / Interface Card Selection
Hello List, The main issue is server selection regarding PCI bus connectivity for Asterisk solutions. Most offerings on HP Proliants, something I've been looking into, include PCI-X and/or PCI-e expansion slots. I know PCI-e is totally different from PCI and PCI-X so, for now, that's not an issue. However, regarding PCI and PCI-X, and after googling for a while and checking wikipedia and whatnot, I'm still not clear on my main issue: Can one use a PCI interface card in a PCI-X slot ? If so, under what conditions ? (ex: 3.3v cards only ? PCI-X bus speed is brought down ? what ?) The objective would be to use Digium's echo cancelling PRI and BRI cards and/or beroNet's BRI cards on, for example, a Proliant ML350 G4 or G5 containing PCI-X slots -- would such combination be technically feasible ? If not, where are you guys getting servers for your PCI based solutions ? Can anyone shed some light into my doubts ? Pointers, documentation, experiences ? The second, kind of attatched issue, is associated to the growing PCI-e buses in the current servers. I know Sangoma already has a PRI card for PCI-e. What about Digium ? Other PRI, BRI manufacturers ? Thanks in advance and regards to all, -- Ex Vito ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

...well, thanks Andrew + Thomas, but that's exactly what I am trying to avoid: knowing by trying ! ;-) I can't risk spending a few thousand just to reach the conclusion that Digium's PRI or BRI cards do not work with a particular system's PCI-X slots/bus...
