Slot Locations
The system has six expansion board slots:
n
three PCI slots
n
two ISA slots
n
one shared PCI/ISA slot.
PCI expansion boards run at the system's processor speed. The PCI bus handles 32 bits of
data at a time, being wider as well as faster than the standard ISA bus. PCI boards can send
and receive data much faster which boosts system performance.
ISA expansion slots support industry-standard 8-bit or 16-bit expansion boards. The shared
PCI/ISA slot can be used either for a PCI or an ISA expansion board.
