Installing Add-in Cards

At some point, you may add an ISA or PCI card to your computer to accommodate a new component, such as a scanner, or you may want to upgrade an existing card.

You will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a medium flat-blade screwdriver. You will also need any software (for example, drivers) supplied with the card.

Warning: Do not overload the system by installing add-in cards that draw excessive current. The system is designed to provide 2 amps (average) of +5V power for each board/card in the computer. The total +5V current draw in a fully loaded system (one with all add-in card slots filled) must not exceed the total number of slots multiplied by 2 amps.

Avertissement : Ne surchargez pas le système en installant des cartes d’expansion qui consomment trop de puissance. Le système est conçu pour fournir une alimentation (moyenne) de 2 ampères à +5V à chaque carte de l’ordinateur. La puissance totale utilisée à +5V par un système chargé au maximum de sa capacité (dont toutes les fentes d’introduction de carte sont garnies) ne doit pas dépasser le nombre total de fentes multiplié par 2 ampères.
