Installing Adapters
Installation Procedure
You can use any adapter that is compatible with an IBM PC AT or
PC XT system (except for an 8-bit drop card that fits only in an 8-bit
PC XT connector).
15a Attention: When you install adapters, processor boards, or
memory boards in the server, be sure that they are
completely and correctly seated in the system-board
connectors before you apply power. Incomplete insertion
might cause damage to the system board or the adapters that
you are installing.
To install an adapter, do the following steps:
1. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter.
The top six slots are for PCI adapters, and the bottom four slots
are for EISA or ISA adapters.
Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any
requirements or restrictions. If there are no restrictions other
than those listed in “Considerations” on page 145, you can use
any empty EISA or PCI slot.
