Setting up Expansion Slots
Once you have set up the computer, set up the expansion slots by
performing the following steps:
1. Select a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI expansion slot.
PCI slots are shorter than ISA or EISA slots and are usually white
or ivory. Commonly, three PCI slots (one of which may be a
shared ISA/PCI slot) are available. If an ISA board exists in the
shared slot, you cannot use the slot for a PCI board; if a PCI board
exists in the shared slot, you cannot use the slot for an ISA board.
Note: If you are using a DT3010-268 board with an STP268
screw terminal panel, the expansion slot to the left of the slot you
just selected must be available for the EP324 cable and faceplate
(it can be either a PCI or ISA slot). Refer to
page 19 for more
information.
2.
Remove the cover plates from the selected expansion slots. Retain
the screws that held them in place; you will use them later to
install the board.
