2.1.3 Adding Cards
The PCI passive backplane accepts both PCI-bus and ISA-bus CPU and
I/O cards. We recommend all-in-one cards. They are durable, and save
valuable slot space by bundling a CPU card with hard disk and floppy
disk controllers, as well as serial and parallel ports.
Open the rear door (see Fig. 2-2) and then slowly slide the card in and
carefully press it into the backplane socket. Secure it with a screw to the
side-mounting bar. Connect the wires. Install additional cards as needed.
When you have finished, close the door.

Note: When installing or maintaining the unit, do not invert the unit or
place it face down. Handling the unit in that way can cause mechanical
damage to the unit.
