EXPANSION BOARDS

The computer supports ISA Plug and Play expansion boards. Plug and Play expansion
boards allow installing 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- 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.
