Available NetBackup 5340 Appliance PCIe-based I/O configurations
The rear panel of the Veritas 5340 Appliance contains three PCIe riser card assemblies. PCIe riser card assemblies 1 and 2 each support three standard PCIe cards, while PCIe riser card assembly 3 supports two low profile PCIe cards. The slots are labeled 1 to 8. Slots 1, 2, and 3 are located in PCIe riser card assembly 2. Slots 4, 5, and 6 are located in PCIe riser card assembly 1, while slots 7 and 8 are located in PCIe riser card assembly 3.

The following table shows the standard I/O configurations that are available with a 5340 Appliance.
Note:
A 5340 appliance high availability (HA) configuration must use two identical 5340 compute nodes with regard to model number and hardware configuration.
This requirement applies to all of the I/O configurations for each model.
