The most powerful PCI-X slot is red (133 MHz).
The green slot is ready for expanding the onboard Adaptec 7902W by a RAID Zero module.
Up to 16 devices can be attached to the Adaptec chip. Adding a RAID Zero board will bring RAID 5 features and a 64 MB cache into play.
Broadcom's BCM5751 takes care of network connectivity via PCIe.
