Step 10 Install Adapter Cards,

EISA Adapter Cards

EISA adapter cards have different fingers on the edge connecters than ISA adapter cards. The EISA expansion slots have
two rows of contacts, one below the other. AN ISA (AT-compatible) Adapter Card can be inserted into the EISA
connector only far enough to make contact with the upper row of contacts. The longer fingers on EISA adapter cards
allow contact with the second row of contacts. See the following graphic.
When installing EISA adapter cards, make sure that they snap in twice and are fully seated in the EISA expansion slot. If
the card makes contact only with the upper row of contacts, it cannot function properly.
