Installing an Option Card
This section explains how to install an option card in one of
your computer’s eight EISA bus master expansion slots.
It usually does not matter which slot an option card occupies as
long as the card fits in the slot. For example, if you have an 8-bit
card with an additional tab along the bottom, it will not fit in
any of the option slots in your computer.
Before you install an option card, see if you need to change any
jumper settings on the main system board. See page 6-14 for
more information.
If you are installing a high-resolution graphics adapter card
that connects to a VGA feature connector, follow the
instructions below to install the adapter card; then see “Using
the VGA Feature Connector” on page 6-9 to connect the card to
the VGA feature connector in your computer.
Caution
Before you install any option cards, make sure the cards do
not exceed the computer’s power supply limits described in
Appendix B.
Follow these steps to install an option card:
1. If this is the first time you are installing a card in the option
slot, you need to remove the metal cover for that slot.
Remove the retaining screw securing the option slot cover
to the inside back panel. Keep the screw to secure the
option card to the computer.
2. Slide out the slot cover and set it aside. (Store it in a safe
place in case you remove the option card later.)
