The system supports five 64-bit PCI slots, and one shared 64-bit PCI slot or
32-bit ISA slot.
Depending on the type of option module you install, you may or may not need
to configure it. When installing an ISA option module, refer to the SYSTEM
STARTUP display screen to see if configuration of the module is required.
After you turn on the system, the system startup sequence examines the ISA
option slot and reports whether you need to run the AlphaBIOS.
When installing PCI option modules, you do not normally need to perform any
configuration procedures. The system configures PCI modules automatically.
But because some PCI option modules require configuration utility diskettes,
refer to the option documentation.
The system supports PCI or ISA network option modules. For information on
cabling them to destinations outside the unit, refer to the documentation that
accompanies the option.
