DPCC and PCIe Card Slot Locations and Numbering
The eight Dual PCIe Card Carrier (DPCC) slots are arranged in a single row at the server back panel. The slots are designated from right to left as DPCC 0–DPCC 7.
Each DPCC occupies two PCIe slots, for a total of sixteen slots. Sixteen PCIe chassis slots support eight PCIe carriers. The PCIe slots are designated from right to left as PCIe 1–PCIe 16.
-
DPCC 0 contains PCIe slots 1 and 2
-
DPCC 1 contains PCIe slots 3 and 4
-
DPCC 2 contains PCIe slots 5 and 6
-
DPCC 3 contains PCIe slots 7 and 8
-
DPCC 4 contains PCIe slots 9 and 10
-
DPCC 5 contains PCIe slots 11 and 12
-
DPCC 6 contains PCIe slots 13 and 14
-
DPCC 7 contains PCIe slots 15 and 16
