Expansion Boards

The computer supports Plug and Play expansion boards (see "Plug and Play Support" in
Section 1). Plug and Play expansion boards allow you to simply install the 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- or 16-bit, ISA and 32-bit, PCI expansion boards are supported in the
system unit. ISA expansion boards can either be Plug and Play or non-Plug and Play boards.
NOTE: The system unit cover must be removed
before installing an expansion board. See
"Removing the System Unit Cover."
