Adding an expansion card
The system board has seven (7) expansion slot connectors. The system
board accepts two types of expansion cards: ISA and PCI. Some of the PCI
expansion slots are designed to allow the slot to be shared with a special
purpose expansion card such as a RAIDport card.
Some ISA expansion cards have jumpers or switches that set interrupts and
I/O addresses. They come with instructions that explain how to set them to
avoid hardware conflicts. Follow the instructions carefully.
Refer to Figure 7 on page 14 for the installation locations.
