Installing Accessory Boards
CAUTION Static electricity can damage electronic components. Turn OFF all
equipment. Don’t let your clothes touch the accessory. To equalize the
static electricity, rest the accessory bag on top of the computer while
you are removing the accessory from the bag. Handle the accessory as
little as possible and with care.
Your PC Workstation has four main accessory board slots and one
supplementary PCI slot:
•
Slot 1 (the top slot) can be used for a full-length 32-bit PCI board.
•
Slot 2 can be used for either a full-length 32-bit PCI or a full-length
16-bit ISA board.
•
Slot 3 can be used for a 32-bit PCI or a 16-bit ISA board (maximum
length 17-cm/6.7-inches).
•
Slot 4 (the bottom slot) can be used for a 16-bit ISA board
(maximum length 17-cm/6.7-inches).
•
Slot 5 (the supplementary slot) is under the power supply unit.
There is probably already a LAN board or a SCSI/LAN board installed
in this slot. If not, and there is no hard disk installed in the
corresponding shelf (refer to page 37), you can install a 32-bit PCI
board (maximum length 16-cm/6.3-inch).
Configuring Accessory Boards with Plug and Play
Plug and Play is an industry standard for automatically configuring
your PC Workstation's hardware resources and the accessory boards
installed in it. Your PC Workstation has configurable support for Plug
and Play in the BIOS.
All PCI accessory boards are Plug and Play, although not all ISA boards
are. Check the accessory board’s documentation if you are unsure.
