EXPANSION BOARDS

Your computer's system board features several expansion
slots that can accommodate accessory adapter boards, such
as a SCSI board or 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, which allow you to install 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.
Your system has six expansion slots:
T
one ISA slot
T
three PCI slots
T
one set of shared ISA and PCI slots
T
one AGP slot.
