ONTAP8.02 system configurator - slot assignments description ?

[druddle00]

Hello

If you look at the ONTAP8.02 system configurator - http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/hardware/NetApp/syscfg/scdot802/index.htm - and select V3240 and Expansion Slots/Cards you get a table telling you what card should go in what slot.

In the boxes for the slot number there is E then a number 1 - 6.  Can someone explain the significance of the E and the number ?  Is it the recommended slot for the device or something else ?  I dont want to assume what I think it might be.

Thanks

Dave

E stands for PCI-E and an X for PCI-X. The number indicates the preferred slot order.
