lnstalling an Option Card

This section explains how to install an option card in your computer. Your computer has four option slots to accommodate up to four B-bit or 16-bit option cards.

Usually it does not matter which slot an option card occupies as long as the card fits in the slot. For example, you can place some B-bit cards in a 16-bit slot. However, follow these guidelines when deciding which slot to use:

If you have an B-bit card that has an additional tab along the bottom, it will not fit in any of the option slots in your computer.

If you are installing a high-resolution graphics adapter card, follow the instructions below to install the adapter card; then see “Using the Alternate VGA Interface” on page 2-26 to connect the card to the VGA feature connector in your computer.

You may not be able to install a half-length or full-length option card in the slot closest to the system board (Slot 1). However, you can install one that is no longer than 110 mm (4.4 inches).

Note

Before you install an option card, see if you need to change any jumper settings on the system board. For example, if you install a video card, you may need to change jumper J5. See page 2-6.
