The following illustration shows the location of expansion slots on the system board.
Adapter considerations: Before you install adapters, review the following:
• Follow the instructions that come with the adapter in addition to the instructions in
this chapter. If you need to change the switch or jumper settings on your adapter,
follow the instructions that come with the adapter.
• You can install full-length adapters in all five PCI slots.
• Your computer supports 5.0V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support
3.3V adapters.
• Your computer uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters.
Because of this technique, you can install a variety of PCI adapters that currently
do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.
• PCI slots 1 through 5 are on PCI bus 0.
The system scans the AGP slot and PCI expansion slots 1 through 5 to assign
system resources. Then, the system starts the PCI devices in the following order,
if you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI expansion slots 1 and
2, system board integrated drive electronics (IDE) or SCSI devices, and then PCI
expansion slots 3 through 5.
