It is recommended that slots 6 and 1 are left unoccupied
(except for video cards), and slot 5 is left unoccupied
(except for a second drive controller). Any other adapter
cards should be fitted in slots 2, 3, 5 and 8 working down
the system unit. Only after all these slots are full should
cards other than video adapters or drive controllers be
fitted in slots 6, 1 or 7.
To install an adapter card:
1. Power the system down.
2. Remove the left side panel of the system unit.
3. Loosen the thumbscrew at the bottom of the
blanking plate for the slot that the adapter is to
occupy, and remove the blanking plate.
Note
If the thumbscrew is tight it may be necessary to
use a screwdriver or coin to release the
thumbscrew.
4. Place the adapter card above the required
connector making sure that the front edge of the
card locates in the appropriate notch in the bridge
assembly.
5. Push the card firmly into the connector. Do not use
excessive force.
6. Secure the card by tightening the thumbscrew at the
bottom of the rear panel of the card.
7. Replace the left side panel.
8. Power the system up with the Reference diskette
and reconfigure for the new adapter.
