1.8 Expansion slots

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections

describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.

1.8.1 Installing an expansion card

To install an expansion card:

1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with

it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.

2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a

chassis).

3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw

for later use.

1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See

Chapter 2 for information on BIOS setup.

2. Assign an IRQ to the card. Refer to the tables on the next page.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion

cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard

components.
