Adding Expansion Cards - Intergraph InterServe 800 System Reference Manual

4. Press straight down and apply even pressure at both ends of the CPU module until it
seats. The DPRM is keyed to ensure proper insertion.
5. Press the processor module locking tabs outward until they click into the locked
position.
6. Find J10, the secondary voltage regulator module (VRM) socket. It is immediately
above J8.
7. Remove the new VRM from its antistatic package and slide the VRM into its socket.
8. Press straight down and apply even pressure at both ends of the VRM until it snaps into
place. The socket is keyed to ensure proper insertion.
9. If you installed a boxed processor with integral fan into the secondary processor slot,
connect the fan cable to J1, located near the bottom left corner of the system board. The
fan cable for a boxed processor installed in the primary processor slot connects to J4,
located near the bottom right of the system board. (Note that your InterServe 800 is not
equipped with a boxed processor fan when shipped from Intergraph Computer Systems.)
10. Reinstall the ride side panel and restart the system. The number of installed prrocessors
displays at the blue Windows NT boot screen.

Adding Expansion Cards

You can install Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), non-compliant PCI, Industry
Standard Architecture (ISA), and Plug-n-Play (PnP) expansion cards in the system. See
below for a general description of the types of cards.
u
PCI cards contain configuration registers that define resource information to the system
during startup. PCI cards do not require manual system configuration when installing
the card. The system BIOS detects the board's presence during startup and reads
information from the board's configuration registers to assign the necessary system
resources.
NOTE All PCI expansion cards sold by Intergraph Computer Systems fully comply with the
Peripheral Component Interconnect Specification, 2.1.
u
Non-compliant PCI cards mechanically comply with the Peripheral Component
Interconnect Specification 2.1 , but do not contain configuration registers that allow the
system to automatically assign the necessary resources. These cards install in PCI slots,
but you must configure the BIOS to assign system resources before installing the card.
In this regard, they are like ISA cards, as described below.
u
ISA cards do not contain registers that define the resource information to the system
during startup. Therefore, you must configure the BIOS to define the card to the system
before installing the ISA card. This reserves system resources for the card.
