SK0-003 · Question #315
A server has a single, half height, PCI-X 3.3v slot available. Which of the following cards can fit in this slot? (Select THREE).
The correct answer is A. Half Height, Universally Keyed PCI card D. Half Height, 3.3v PCI card E. Half Height, Universally Keyed PCI-X card. A Half Height, 3.3v PCI-X slot can accommodate cards that match its physical height and are either native PCI-X or backward-compatible PCI cards of the correct voltage or universal keying.

Why each option
A Half Height, 3.3v PCI-X slot can accommodate cards that match its physical height and are either native PCI-X or backward-compatible PCI cards of the correct voltage or universal keying.
A Half Height, Universally Keyed PCI card will fit because it matches the physical height requirement and universally keyed PCI cards are designed to work in both 3.3v and 5v PCI/PCI-X slots.
A Full Height card will not fit in a Half Height slot due to physical dimension mismatch.
A PCI Express card uses a different slot keying and electrical interface than PCI-X, making it physically and electrically incompatible.
A Half Height, 3.3v PCI card is compatible because it matches the physical height, and 3.3v PCI-X slots are backward compatible with 3.3v PCI cards.
A Half Height, Universally Keyed PCI-X card is fully compatible as it matches both the physical height and the bus type with universal keying, ensuring proper voltage compatibility.
A Full Height card will not fit in a Half Height slot due to physical dimension mismatch.
A PCI Express card uses a different slot keying and electrical interface than PCI-X, making it physically and electrically incompatible.
Concept tested: PCI and PCI-X card compatibility (form factor, voltage, keying)
