Installing an Option Card

This section explains how to install option cards in your computer. Your computer has five 16-bit, full-length ISA slots.

Caution

Before you install any option cards in yours system, make

sure that no card draws current in excess of the limits listed in Appendix A .

As you install option cards, keep these guidelines in mind:

Check the components on your card and the system board before deciding which slot to use. Make sure that no components are touching or obstructing other cards or cables.

When you unpack the option card, do not touch any of the components on the circuit board or the gold-edged connectors. Place it gently on top of its original packing material with the component side facing up. Keep the packing materials in case you remove the card later.

before you install the card, adjust any switches or jumpers on it, if necessary. (See the instructions that came with the card.) Also, see if you need to change any jumper settings on the system board. (For example, if you install a video card, you need to disable the built-in VGA adapter.) See page 3-6 for more information on jumpers.
