PCI Slots This mainboard is equipped with 4 standard PCI slots. PCI stands
for peripheral Component Interconnect and is a bus standard for
expansion cards, which for the most part, is a supplement of the
older ISA bus standard. This PCI slot is designated as 32-bit.
ISA Slot The mainboard is equipped with one standard ISA slot. ISA stands
(optional) for Industry Standard Architecture and was designed as a bus
standard for expansion cards in the early 90's for PC XT/AT ma-
chines. This mainboard retains backward compatibility with this
order and slower bus architecture.
Note: Before installing an add-on card, check the documentation for the card
carefully. If the card is not Plug and Play, you may have to manually con-
figure the card before installation.
Follow these instructions to install an add-on card:
1. Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the slot you
are going to use.
2. Install the edge connector of the
add-on card into the expansion
slot. Ensure that the edge con-
nector is correctly seated in the
slot.
3. Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a screw.
Note: For some add-on cards, for example graphics adapters and network adapters,
you have to install drivers and software before you can begin using the add-on
card.
