Installing an Expansion Card

Follow this general installation procedure:
1. If you are installing an ISA expansion card, start
the system configuration utility and add the new
expansion card to the configuration information.
See Chapter 5, "Using the System Configuration
Utility," in the system User's Guide for instructions.
NOTES: If you are installing an EISA expansion
card, you should normally run the system configura-
tion utility after installing the expansion card.
If you are installing a PCI expansion card, your sys-
tem automatically performs any required PCI
configuration tasks during the boot routine.
2. Prepare the expansion card for installation, turn
off and disconnect the computer and peripherals
