Installing an Option Card
This section explains how to install option cards in your
computer. Your computer has five 16-bit slots, two for
full-length cards and three for half-length cards. The two
full-length slots are VESA compatible. (The lowest full-length
slot accommodates only a half-length card.)
Caution
Before you install any option cards in your system, make
sure that each card does not draw more current than the
limits listed in the Appendix A.
As you install option cards, keep these guidelines in mind:
Install VESA compatible cards in either of the two slots
with the extra VESA connectors.
If you have an 8-bit card, you can install it in a 16-bit slot, as
long as it fits.
Check the components on your card and the system board
before deciding which slot to use. Make sure that no
components are touching or obstructing other cards or
cables.
When you unpack the option card, do not touch the
components on the circuit board or the gold-edged
connectors. Place the card gently on top of its original
packing material with the component side facing up. Keep
the packing materials in case you remove it later.
Adjust any switches or jumpers on the card, if necessary,
before you install it. (See the option card instructions.) Also,
see if you need to change any jumpers on the system board.
