Installing Expansion Cards
The C586HX system board is equipped with 3 dedicated PCI slots, 3
dedicated 16-bit ISA slots and 1 shared PCI/ISA slot. All PCI slots are
bus masters. You can only install one card in one or the other of the
shared slots at a time; you cannot install devices in both slots. Refer to
page 12 for the locations of the expansion slots.
Due to the size of the CPU with its accompanying heatsink/fan compo-
nent, the length of the add-in cards in PCI slots 1 and 2 and ISA slots 1
and 2 is limited to 18cm (measured from the bracket of the card).
The length of the add-in card in PCI slot 4 is limited to 18cm only if the
components on the solder side of the card protrude more than 5mm.
