Installing an Expansion Card

Expansion cards, such as a scanner card or a modem, increase the capabilities of your computer. There are many different types of expansion cards available on the market. Before purchasing an expansion card or equipment that requires the installation of an expansion card, ensure that the new card and equipment is compatible with your Internet PC.

Determining Expansion Card Compatibility

The types of cards compatible with your Compaq 7800 Series Internet PC include the following:

x Plug and Play Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) cards

x Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) cards (available on select models only) x Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) cards (available on select models only)

HINT: Plug and Play PCI cards are automatically recognized and resourced upon installation by the Microsoft Windows operating system and Basic Input Output System (BIOS).

*The operating system and the BIOS do not automatically recognize ISA cards. The card jumper settings may require manual adjustment based on your currently available system resources, such as the IRQ (Interrupt ReQuest) and DMA (Direct Memory Access). Then you must adjust the operating system settings to reflect these resource settings according to the card manufacturer’s instructions.
