The system has three expansion slots: one half length and one
full length 16-bit Industry Standard Architecture (ISA), and one
full length slot which can be used by either an ISA or PCI card.
If your computer has a Small Computer Systems Interface
(SCSI) device such as a QIC tape drive, one of the ISA slots
will be occupied by a SCSI drive controller. Other cards may
be pre-installed at the factory or by your supplier.
Expansion cards are a relatively cheap way of upgrading your
system. Moreover, they are usually quite easy to install,
requiring no more than a cross-head screwdriver and a steady
hand.
Installation
Installation of an expansion card in your computer is a simple
process requiring the removal of only the system unit cover
and a blanking plate. The following instructions and illustrations
describe how to install a card in a simple step-by-step
sequence.
1.
Power the system down.
2.
Take suitable anti-static precautions and remove the
system unit cover.
If you are unfamiliar with the recommended anti-static
precautions and/or the process of removing the
system unit cover refer to the appendices at the rear
of this manual.
