Installing Expansion Boards

Introduction

This chapter contains the configuration guidelines that must be followed prior to
installing ISA or PCI expansion boards as well as detailed installation procedures.
The BIOS detects ISA and PCI boot devices and expansion boards. ISA devices
have jumpers or switches that determine their bus address. PCI devices have their
addresses assigned dynamically by the BIOS, in ascending order beginning with the
first available address (the lower the address, the higher the priority of the device).

ISA Expansion Board Configuration Guidelines

•
The two ISA slots support industry-standard 16-bit ISA expansion boards.
•
Quick Launch detects PCI, SCSI, and RAID devices; it does not detect ISA
devices.
