Expanding Your System
Installing Expansion Boards
The Digital AlphaStation 400 Series system features two PCI slots, three ISA slots, and
one combination PCI and ISA slot.
__________________________NOTE ____________________________
The SRM console for DEC OSF/1 and OpenVMS systems assigns available
IRQs to PCI devices. IRQs are considered available if they are not assigned to
ISA devices in the console's configuration database. Use the ISACFG console
to maintain the configuration database.
