Installing
an
adapter
The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
adapters
that
the
computer
supports
and
other
information
that
you
might
consider
when
you
install
an
adapter.
See
“System-board
optional-device
connectors”
on
page
32
for
an
illustration
of
the
adapter
slot
locations.
Important:
When
you
install
the
NVIDIA
Quadro
FX
3500
video
adapter
in
the
computer,
do
not
set
the
analog
resolution
above
1600
x
1200
@
60
Hz.
This
is
the
highest
resolution
supported
for
the
NVIDIA
Quadro
FX
3500
video
adapter.
In
addition,
when
you
use
a
cathode
ray
tube
(CRT)
type
monitor,
the
monitor
cable
must
come
with
a
ferrite
suppression
on
both
ends
of
the
monitor
cable.
v
Read
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
operating
system.
v
Locate
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
adapter
and
follow
those
instructions
in
addition
to
the
instructions
in
this
chapter.
If
you
have
to
change
the
switch
or
jumper
settings
on
the
adapter,
follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter.
v
The
computer
comes
with
the
following
adapter
connectors,
or
slots
:
Important:
The
slot
designation
information
describes
the
adapter
that
is
supported
in
that
slot
and
the
bandwidth
for
that
slot.
For
example,
the
x8
(x4)
designation
for
slot
3
identifies
an
x8
slot
that
is
designed
to
support
x4
adapters
and
x8
adapters
that
can
downshift
to
operate
at
the
x4
bandwidth.
If
you
install
an
x8
adapter
in
slot
3
that
can
downshift
to
the
x4
bandwidth,
it
will
run
at
the
x4
bandwidth.
The
x8
connector
is
used
for
x4
and
x8
adapters.

Note:
In
some
models,
the
video
adapter
in
slot
2
overlaps
slot
1.
Therefore,
you
will
have
one
less
PCI
slot
in
which
you
can
install
an
adapter.

The
computer
comes
with
the
video
(graphics)
adapter
installed
in
slot
2.
You
can
install
up
to
three
additional
optional
adapters
in
the
computer.
The
computer
supports
dual-graphic
adapters
in
slots
2
and
4.
If
a
single-graphic
configuration
is
used,
slot
2
is
configured
to
run
at
the
x16
bandwidth.
If
the
dual-graphic
configuration
is
used,
slots
2
and
4
are
configured
to
run
at
the
x8
bandwidth.
Notes:
1.
If
you
are
using
the
dual-graphic
configuration,
connect
the
video
auxiliary
power
cable
to
the
system
board.
Make
sure
each
video
adapter
is
65
watts
or
less.
2.
If
you
are
using
the
single-graphic
configuration
and
the
power
consumption
of
the
video
adapter
is
more
than
65
watts,
connect
the
video
auxiliary
power
cable
to
the
video
adapter.
