enabled by default, provide a single connection
point for multiple USB-compliant devices. USB-
compliant devices can also be connected and
disconnected while the system is running.
•
A modular computer chassis for easy disassembly
and improved serviceability.
•
One 32-bit PCI expansion slot, one shared PCI
(32-bit)/ISA (16-bit) expansion slot, and one 16-bit
