Installing Expansion Boards

PCI Expansion Board Configuration Guidelines
When installing expansion boards or other bootable devices, consider the following:
•
All PCI slots support bus mastering.
•
PCI expansion boards should be installed starting in PCI slot one. Install a
PCI expansion board in the “shared PCI slot” (slot 6) last.
•
The assignment for the boot device depends on which boot device occurs
first on the bus.
•
The BIOS assigns addresses starting with the first available address.
•
The lower the address, the higher the priority that is assigned to the device.
NOTE:
If you want a PCI device to be the bootable device, do not
set the address jumpers or switches for an ISA device to address
C8000h.
