IBM 704 15a

Installing Adapters

You can use any adapter that is compatible with an IBM PC AT or

PC XT system (except for an 8-bit drop card that fits only in an 8-bit

PC XT connector).

15a Attention: When you install adapters, processor boards, or

memory boards in the server, be sure that they are

completely and correctly seated in the system-board

connectors before you apply power. Incomplete insertion

might cause damage to the system board or the adapters that

you are installing.

To install an adapter, do the following steps:

1. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter.

The top six slots are for PCI adapters, and the bottom four slots

are for EISA or ISA adapters.

Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any

requirements or restrictions. If there are no restrictions other

than those listed in “Considerations” on page 145, you can use

any empty EISA or PCI slot.
