Adding an expansion card
The E1400 Mid Tower chassis has five expansion slots for PCI cards. The riser
card has five PCI connectors.
A card alignment guide attached to the riser card helps you align PCI cards
in the slots.
To add a PCI expansion card:
1 Set any jumpers and switches on the card (see the card documentation
for instructions).
2 Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
3 Open the right panel (see “Removing the side panels” on page 19 for
more information, and observe the “Static electricity precautions” on
page 17.)
4 Locate an available slot.
