10.Reinstall the left side cover of the system and replace the two screws.

11.Plug in the system power cord(s) and power up the system.

Adding an expansion card

The system board has eight (8) expansion slot connectors. The system board accepts two types of expansion cards: ISA and PCI. Some of the PCI expansion slots are designed to allow the slot to be shared with a special purpose expansion card such as a RAID port card.

Some ISA expansion cards have jumpers or switches that set interrupts and I/O addresses. They come with instructions that explain how to set them to avoid hardware conflicts. Follow the instructions carefully.

Refer to Figure 7 on page 12 for the correct installation location.

To Install an Expansion Card

1.Set any jumpers and switches on the card as required in the card instructions.

2.Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord.

3.Open the case, observing the ESD precautions in “Static electricity precautions” on page 2.

4.Locate an available slot.

5.Remove and retain the screw securing the expansion port cover to the rear panel. Keep the port cover for reinstallation in case you ever need to remove the card.
