Install Expansion Cards - FIC PAK-2005 User Manual

4). Install Expansion Cards

NOTE : Before installing an expansion card, a riser card has to be installed in
the one available EISA slot (SL1). Make sure to unplug the power
supply when adding or removing expansion cards or other system
components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the
mainboard and expansion cards.
The mainboard features one 32-bit EISA Bus expansion slots.
This section describes how to connect a riser card to the system's expansion slot. A
riser card is a printed circuit board that, when connected to the mainboard, allows
you to install additional ISA/PCI expansion cards which increases the capabilities of
the system. For example, an expansion card can provide video and sound
capabilities.
CAUTION: Always turn the system power off before installing or removing any
device.
Always observe static electricity precautions. See "Handling
Precautions" at the start of this manual.
To install an expansion card, do the following:
1. Remove the computer chassis cover and locate the empty EISA expansion slot
(SL1).
2. Holding the edge of the riser card, carefully align the edge connector with the
expansion slot.
