Installing an Option Card

This section explains how to install option cards in your
computer. Your computer has five 16-bit, ISA slots; three full
length and two half-length.

As you install option cards, keep these guidelines in mind:

Check the components on your card and the system board

before deciding which slot to use. Make sure that no

components are touching or obstructing other cards or
cables.

When you unpack the option card, be careful not to touch

any of the components on the circuit board or the

gold-edged connectors. If you need to set it down before
you install it, place it gently on top of its original packing

material with the component side facing up. Keep the
packing materials in case you remove the card later.

Before you install the card, adjust any switches or jumpers
on the card, if necessary. (See the instructions that came

with the option card.) Also, see if you need to change any

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

install a video card, you need to disable the built-in VGA

adapter. See page 3-6 for more information on jumpers.
