NEC VT 300 Series manual Expansion Boards

Expansion Boards

Your system supports 32-bit PCI Plug and Play expansion boards. Your system also supports industry standard architecture (ISA) 8- and 16-bit expansion boards (Plug and Play and non-Plug and Play).

With Plug and Play expansion boards, you can install a board without changing the hardware settings. There are no system resource conflicts to resolve. Plug and Play automatically configures the board for the system.

The PCI connectors support bus mastering and accept PCI expansion boards that run at half the system board’s bus speed. The PCI bus handles 32 bits of data at a time, boosting system performance.

The following sections show PCI and ISA slot and connector locations and includes procedures for installing and removing expansion boards.
