Installing an Option Card

This section explains how to install option cards in your
computer. Your computer has four option slots; the three large
slots are ISA compatible, and the smaller slot is PCI compatible.
Follow these guidelines when installing option cards:
Make sure you know whether the card you are installing is
an ISA card or a PCI card, so you can install it in the correct
type of slot.
If you have an 8-bit ISA card, you can install it in a 16-bit
ISA slot, as long as it fits.
Check the components on your card and the system board
before deciding which slot to use. Make sure that no
components are touching or obstructing other cards or
cables.
When you unpack the option card, do not touch the
components on the circuit board or the gold-edged
connectors. Place the card gently on top of its original
packing material with the component side facing up. Keep
the packing materials in case you remove it later.
Adjust any switches or jumpers on the card, if necessary,
before you install it. (See the option card instructions.) Also,
to see if you need to change any jumpers on the system
board, check the tables on page 4-7.
