Installing PCI Cards

To install PCI cards:
1. Locate the PCI slots on the system board.
2. Remove the bracket on the housing opposite an empty PCI slot.
3. Insert a PCI card into the slot. Make sure that the card is properly
seated.
4. Secure the card to the housing with a screw.
When you turn on the system, BIOS automatically detects and assigns
resources to the PCI devices.

Installing ISA Cards

Both PnP and non-PnP ISA cards require specific IRQs.
installing ISA cards, make sure that the IRQs required by these cards
are not previously assigned to PCI devices to avoid resource conflicts.
