Adding Expansion Boards
You can add Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), Plug-n-Play (PnP), and Industry
Standard Architecture (ISA) expansion boards by installing them in the system’s expansion
slots. The following illustrations show the location of the expansion slots on the system
board. You can install PnP boards in ISA expansion slots. The lowest PCI slot and the
highest ISA slot are shared; you can install a board into one or the other, but not both.

PCI and PnP expansion boards contain configuration registers that define the board to the
system automatically during startup. Older ISA expansion boards (non-PnP) do not use
configuration registers, and require configuration before they can be installed. On systems
running Windows 95, this is handled by the Device Manager. On systems running Windows
NT Workstation, this may be handled by running a configuration program provided with an
ISA board by its vendor. If the vendor provides no such program, you must run the system’s
ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) to define the board to the system.
To run the ICU, use the ICU diskettes created from the SYSUTIL product. Run the ICU
before installing an ISA expansion board to reserve system resources for the board. Refer to
the online ICU Help for information on defining an ISA expansion board to the system, and to
the documentation delivered with the board for installation and configuration instructions.
CAUTION
Do not run the ICU on a system running Windows 95 unless you are installing a legacy (non-
PnP) ISA board.
CAUTION
The ICU for a TD-20 system is different from the ICU for a TD-200 system. Make sure you
create and use the appropriate ICU for your system.
