Option Cards
This section describes how to install and remove an EISA option
card. The system board has eight expansion slots that can accept
any EISA or ISA option card (except for an 8-bit drop card that
fits only in an 8-bit PC XT connector).
Notice: Do not overload the system board by installing option cards
that exceed an average current of 2A.
Note: If you are installing or removing an EISA option card, you
must run the ECU to reconfigure the system. Note that for an ISA
card, running the ECU may not be required.
Also, if you are installing an optional SCSI host adapter board,
you must first run the ECU to disable the onboard dual channel
adapter, before installing the optional SCSI adapter.
Installing an Option Card
1.
Power off the system and remove the covers as described
earlier in this chapter.
2.
Remove and save the expansion slot screw and cover.
