Installing Add-In Cards - HP Compaq Presario,Presario 8380 Supplementary Manual

Installing Add-in Cards

At some point, you may add an ISA or PCI card to
your computer to accommodate a new component,
such as a scanner, or you may want to upgrade an
existing card.
You will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a medium
flat-blade screwdriver. You will also need any
software (for example, drivers) supplied with the card.

Getting Help
Warning:
Do not overload the system by installing
add-in cards that draw excessive current. The system is
designed to provide 2 amps (average) of +5V power for each
board/card in the computer. The total +5V current draw in a
fully loaded system (one with all add-in card slots filled) must
not exceed the total number of slots multiplied by 2 amps.
Avertissement :
Ne surchargez pas le système en
installant des cartes d'expansion qui consomment trop de
puissance. Le système est conçu pour fournir une alimentation
(moyenne) de 2 ampères à +5V à chaque carte de l'ordinateur.
La puissance totale utilisée à +5V par un système chargé au
maximum de sa capacité (dont toutes les fentes d'introduction
de carte sont garnies) ne doit pas dépasser le nombre total de
fentes multiplié par 2 ampères.
