Adding an expansion card

The E1400 Mid Tower chassis has five expansion slots for PCI cards. The riser
card has five PCI connectors.

A card alignment guide attached to the riser card helps you align PCI cards
in the slots.

To add a PCI expansion card:

1

Set any jumpers and switches on the card (see the card documentation
for instructions).

2

Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.

3

Open the right panel (see “Removing the side panels” on page 19 for
more information, and observe the “Static electricity precautions” on
page 17
.)

4

Locate an available slot.
