2.10 Installing Expansion Cards

Before installing add-in cards, you should ensure that they are fully compatible with your
motherboard. For this reason, we've provided the diagrams below, showing the expansion
slots that appear on your motherboard.
Expansion cards should be pushed firmly into the appropriate slot. Excessive force can
damage both the card and the motherboard and care should be taken.
Unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing
system hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or expansion
cards
Usually caused by faulty cables, cables put in
backwards or a faulty floppy drive. Try another
floppy drive or try replacing the cable. Check to
see if the onboard floppy controller is enabled in
the BIOS setup.
The cable, floppy drive or motherboard may be
faulty. Try another drive or cable.
Check power cable and cabling. A faulty power
supply or drive cable could be the problem.
Usually signifies that the cable on the drive is
inserted backwards. Reverse the cable at the
floppy drive end and try again.
