Figure 15. Slots and Adapter
If you have selected Adapter Information on the previous screen, then you will
get detailed information on the adapters, which are currently installed in this
system. In our case these are all Micro Channel adapters. As you can see, there
is an IBM Token-Ring 16/4 adapter installed in slot 3 and an XGA adapter
installed in slot 1. The other slots are not used at this time. If you now want to
get more detailed information on one of these adapters, then double-click on the
slot display of the adapter you want to get more details on. Then an additional
menu gives you very detailed information about the configuration data for this
adapter, such as interrupts, memory on the adapter, transfer rates.
