Adding an expansion card

The E-3200 chassis has three expansion slots for PCI/ISA cards and one slot for an AGP card.

The riser card has two PCI connectors and one shared PCI/ISA connector. For the shared slot, so you can install either a PCI or ISA expansion card, but not both. The AGP connector is on the system board.

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.

To add a PCI/ISA expansion card

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

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

3.Open the case, observing the “Static Electricity Precautions” on page 2.

4.Remove the slot cover bracket by pressing downward and outward on the tab.

Important!

The on-board AGP is automatically disabled if an AGP add-in card is used.
