Working with adapters

slots on the system board.
Adapter considerations
The following notes describe the types of adapters that your computer supports and
other information that you might consider when installing an adapter:
v Read the documentation that comes with your operating system.
v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter, and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter. If you need to change
the switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that come
with the adapter.
v You can install only 32-bit adapters in the 32-bit PCI slots 1 through 5. The
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) video adapter is installed in the AGP slot.
v You can install full-length adapters in all five expansion slots. None of the
expansion slots are hot-plug slots.
v Your computer supports 5.0 V signaling and universal PCI adapters; it does not
support 3.3 V signaling adapters.
v The system scans the AGP slot, mini-PCI slot, and PCI expansion slots 1
through 5 to assign system resources. Then, the system starts the PCI devices in
the following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: AGP
slot, mini-PCI slot, PCI expansion slot 1, system-board integrated drive
electronics (IDE) or small computer system interface (SCSI) devices, and then
PCI slots 2 through 5.
v Some models come with a IEEE 1394 adapter installed in the mini-PCI slot. If
your computer did not come with a IEEE 1394 adapter installed, do not install
any adapter in the mini-PCI slot.
v For a list of supported options for your computer, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/ on
the World Wide Web; then, select your country, and navigate to the list of options
for your computer.
