EXPANSION BOARDS

Your computer's system board features several expansion slots that can accommodate
accessory adapter boards, such as a TV board. Depending on the system you purchased,
some of these devices may be installed in your system.
The Direction SP B-Series supports ISA Plug and Play expansion boards. Plug and Play
allows the installation of a board in an expansion slot without changing the hardware
settings. There are no system resource conflicts to resolve. Plug and Play automatically
configures the board for the system.
Industry-standard 8-bit and 16-bit ISA, and 32-bit PCI expansion boards are supported in
the system unit. ISA expansion boards can be Plug and Play or non-Plug and Play boards.
PCI expansion boards run at one half the system host's bus speed. The PCI bus handles
32 bits of data at a time, being wider as well as faster than the standard ISA bus. PCI boards
can send and receive data much faster, thereby boosting system performance.
