Adding or Removing an Expansion Card

✎Adding an expansion card requires an optional expansion card assembly with riser card, which can be obtained from HP or an authorized provider.

The computer has one full-height, half-length PCI expansion slot that can accommodate an optional expansion card 10.67 cm (4.2 inches) in height and up to 16.76 cm (6.6 inches) in length. A variety of optional PCI cards are available including:

■Wireless LAN card

■FireWire card

■Modem card

■NIC card

■Graphics card

✎Adding a graphics card will, by default, disable the integrated graphics on the system board. The integrated graphics can be reenabled by changing the BIOS settings in Computer Setup.

✎A USDT serial/parallel I/O assembly, available as an option, replaces the expansion slot cover and connects directly to the system board.
