Option Card Problems
A new/y installed option card is not working correctly.
Make sure the option card is installed correctly and is well-
seated in its slot. Run SETUP to update your configuration after
you install the card. See Appendix B for instructions. Perform
setup procedures for any software you are using with the card.
See the documentation that came with the option card to set any
necessary DIP switches or jumpers on the card. If you installed a
video adapter on an option card, make sure you disabled the
built-in VGA controller by changing the setting of jumper JP21;
see “Changing the Jumper Settings” in Chapter 3 for more
information.
Make sure you install option cards that do not exceed the
system’s power supply limits; see “Option Slot Power Limits” in
Appendix A for more information.
Make sure the option card is not touching any other card or
component on your system board.
If you installed a PCI card, check to see that the PCI options in
SETUP are set correctly for your card. For more information, see
“Configuring PCI devices” in Appendix B.
An external device connected to the option card is not
working correct/y.
Make sure you are using the proper cable to securely connect the
device to the card.
