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

guidelines when deciding which slot to use:

If you have an B-bit card that has an additional tab along

the bottom, it will not fit in any of the option slots in your

computer.

If you are installing a high-resolution graphics adapter

card, follow the instructions below to install the adapter

card; then see “Using the Alternate VGA Interface” on page

2-26 to connect the card to the VGA feature connector in

your computer.

You may not be able to install a half-length or full-length

option card in the slot closest to the system board (Slot 1).

However, you can install one that is no longer than 110 mm

(4.4 inches).

Note

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

any jumper settings on the system board. For example, if

you install a video card, you may need to change jumper J5.
