PC/Server Motherboards

While Asterisk will run on many different systems, the limitations will be determined by what type of interface cards you choose for connecting to phone lines or phones.

PCI Slot Requirements: Carefully check what the requirements are for any PCI card you select in terms of PCI slot type, 5 volt vs. 3.3V, 32 bit vs. 64 bit, 33 Mhz or higher. The X100P clone cards require 5 volts and won't work in motherboards that can't supply 5 volts. The cards should be keyed so they will only fit in 5V slots, but at least some of the clone cards have the notch in the PCI connector that will allow them to fit into 3.3V slots. Symptoms of putting a 5V card in a 3.3V only slot is that the system won't power up.

Pictorial guides to identifying types of PCI slots:

• From Digium
• From CERN

The DIGIUM TE410 PRI card, requires a motherboard with a 64bit 3.3v PCI slot. Given the bandwidth requirements, it would be better to have a 133Mhz slot if available.

The newer DIGIUM TE405P PRI card uses the more commonly available 32bit 5 volt PCI slot, so you have a wider selection of motherboards for this card. Other than the PCI slot type, this board is virtually identical to the TE410P.

Note: Some cards like the TDM400's are 3.3V cards, but to make up for their higher power requirements, they require an available hard drive power connector in order to get 5V or 12V. If all of your connectors are in use you may require a Y (splitter) cable.

PCI interrupts: A lot of issues are reported with MB's that share interrupts on a single PCI slot, with the Digium hardware. Better quality MB's allow BIOS specifcation of the IRQ to a PCI slot to avoid this issue.
