Installing an Expansion Board
You can install up to five expansion boards in your system: two
PC1 boards and three ISA boards. The expansion slots on the
expansion card riser board can accommodate up to two
full-length boards (one ISA and one PCI) and up to three
half-length boards (two ISA and one PCI).
Caution
Before you install any expansion boards in your system,
make sure that no board draws current in excess of the limits
listed on page A-6.
Follow these steps to install an expansion board in your system:
Note
If you are installing a video expansion board containing a
secondary controller, it must be an MDA or CGA card with
no BIOS. You must use the computer’s built-in VGA
controller as the primary controller.
1.
Remove the computer’s cover; see page 4-2.
2.
Remove the retaining screw and the expansion slot cover
from the slot you plan to use. Save the slot cover to install
on a vacant slot (if you remove a board later) and use the
screw to secure your new board.
