Installing Expansion Boards

Introduction

This chapter contains the configuration guidelines that must be followed

prior to installing ISA, EISA or PCI expansion boards as well as detailed

installation procedures. Note that EISA and PCI expansion boards can be

SCSI, RAID,

and NIC.

ISA/EISA Expansion Board Configuration Guidelines

• EISA slots one through five support industry-standard 32-bit EISA

expansion or 16-bit ISA boards.

• EISA slot one is designated as a shared slot with PCI slot four. This

means that only one expansion board can reside in EISA slot one

or PCI slot four at any one time.

• ISA/EISA boards should be installed starting in EISA slot two.

Install the shared EISA slot one last.

• You must run the SCU after installing any EISA expansion board.

• You must run the SCU before installing any ISA expansion board to

view assigned IRQs and addresses for other options.

• Follow the slot numbers on the plastic card guide to align any

ISA/EISA expansion board.
