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 8-bit or 16-bit option cards.

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 8-bit cards in a 16-bit slot. However, follow these

guidelines when deciding which slot to use:

q

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.

q

If you installed SIMMs, the bottom slot (slot 1) will

accommodate only an 8-bit card.

q

If you are using a CGA adapter and monitor, you also need

to set the Primary display option in SETUP to

Color 80x25 or Color 40x25. See Chapter 2 for

instructions on running SETUP.

q

If you are installing a high-resolution graphics adapter

card, follow the instructions below to install the adapter

card; then see “Using the VGA Feature Connector” on page

4-17 to connect the card to the VGA feature connector on

the main system board.

Note

Before you install an option card, see if you need to change

any jumper settings or DIP switches on the system board.

For example, if you install a video card, you may need to

change jumper J3. See page 4-6.
