The OptiPlex E1 computer has three expansion-card slots. The riser board has
two ISA expansion-card connectors and two PCI expansion-card connectors.
One PCI expansion-card connector and one ISA expansion-card connector
share a single expansion-card slot, resulting in a total of three expansion-card
slots (see Figure 1-4). The computer has a passive riser board, with no PCI-to-
PCI bridge. The riser board includes the P1 connector (for connecting the NIC
to the riser board cable) and an LED (see Figure 1-4). If the LED is on, the riser
board is receiving power; if off, the riser board is not receiving power.

The two DIMM sockets on the system board can accommodate combinations
of 16-, 32-, 64-, and 128-MB, 64-bit nonparity DIMMs, up to a total memory
capacity of 256 MB.

You can upgrade video memory from 2 to 4 MB by installing an optional video-
memory upgrade module in the video-memory upgrade socket on the system
board. Adding video memory increases the system’s video performance and
provides additional modes for high-resolution/expanded color applications.

Board Options,” in the Reference and Installation Guide for additional upgrade
