8-2 Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
Expansion Cards
Expansion cards are installed on the system’s riser board or the system board right
angle connector. The riser board plugs into the PCI2 connector on the system board
(see
Figure 8-1) and is considered an extension of the system board.
The system board supports two 32-bit, 33-megahertz (MHz), peripheral component
interconnect (PCI) expansion-card connectors. The low-profile PCI slot is occupied by
the system’s video controller card and only the full-length PCI slot is available for an
expansion NIC card.
Removing an Expansion Card
To remove an expansion card, perform the following steps.
CAUTION: Observe the precautions in “Safety First—For You and Your
System” in Chapter 7 and the safety instructions in the System Information
document that came with your system.
NOTICE: See “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge” in the safety
