Installing Expansion Cards - DFI G586IPV User Manual

Installing Expansion Cards

The G586IPV system board is equipped with 4 dedicated PCI slots and
3 dedicated 16-bit ISA slots. All PCI slots are bus masters.
Due to the size of the CPU with its accompanying fan/heatsink compo-
nent, the length of the add-in cards in PCI slot 4 and ISA slot 1 is
limited to 18cm (7.07", measured from the bracket of the card). With the
cache module installed in the cache module slot, the components on
the solder side of the add-in card in PCI Slot 3 must not protrude more
than 5mm. The components of the component side of the add-in card
in PCI Slot 2 also must not protrude more than 5mm.
Refer to page 14 for the locations of the expansion slots.
Note:
The BIOS needs to be configured for the PCI add-in cards installed in
the PCI slots. Refer to the " PCI Configuration Setup" presented in the
" Software Installation" section of the manual.
