Installing an Option Card
This section explains how to install an option card in one of
your computer's eight EISA bus master expansion slots. It
usually does not matter which slot an option card occupies as
long as the card fits in the slot. For example, if you have an
8-bit card with an additional tab along the bottom, it will not Fit
in any of the option slots in your computer.
However, as you design a scheme for any EISA bus master
cards you install, keep in mind that these pairs of option slots
share EISA bus arbitration requests:
8 and the built-in SCSI controller (viewed as slot 9)
For example, as the EISA bus masters take control of the bus,
they do so in this order:
1,2,3,5,7, built-in SCSI controller (9)
1,2,3,4,6,8, etc.
Before you install any option cards, see if you need to change
any jumper settings on the main system board. See page 6-18
for more information.
