Installing an Option Card
This section explains how to install an option card in your
computer. Your computer has four option slots to
accommodate up to four S-bit or 16-bit option cards.
Follow these guidelines when installing option cards:
0 Usually it does not matter which slot an option card
occupies as long as the card fits in the slot. For example,
you can place some S-bit cards in a 16-bit slot.
0 If you are installing a display adapter card, make sure any
switches or jumpers on the card are set properly. See the
documentation that came with the card for instructions.
0 If you installed SIMMs, the bottom slot (slot 1) will
accommodate only half-length option cards.
0 If you are installing a high-resolution graphics adapter
card, follow the instructions below to install the adapter
card; then see “Using the SVGA Feature Connector” on
page 4-22 to connect the card to the SVGA feature
connector on the main system board.
Note
Before you install an option card, change any jumper
settings or DIP switches on the system board, if necessary
For example, if you install a video card, you may need to
change jumper J3. See page 4-7.
