Mini Tower Chassis Riser Boards

The mini tower chassis is available with either a PCI riser board (see

Figure 7

) or a PCI/ISA riser board (see

Figure 8

). The PCI riser board

provides five PCI expansion card slots. The PCI/ISA riser board provides three PCI expansion slots, two ISA expansion slots, and two shared
PCI/ISA expansion slots.

Installing an Expansion Card

To install an expansion card, perform the following steps.

1. Prepare the expansion card for installation, and remove the computer cover according to the instructions in "

See the documentation that came with the expansion card for information on configuring the card, making internal connections, or otherwise
customizing it for your system.

2. Unscrew and remove the metal filler bracket that covers the card-slot opening for the expansion-card connector you intend to use (see Figure

9).

NOTE: ISA expansion-card connector 1 and PCI expansion-card connector 3 share an expansion slot; only one of these two connectors
can be used.
