Installing Expansion Cards
WARNING: Turn off the power to the system when adding or
removing expansion cards or any other system components.
Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the system.
Installation Procedures:
1. Read the documentation that came with the expansion card and
make any necessary hardware or software setting changes for the
expansion card. A good example is jumper setting changes.
2. Remove the computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot
you intend to use.
3. Align the card’s connectors and press it in firmly.
4. Secure the card in the slot with the screw that was removed from
the bracket plate.
5. Replace the computer system’s cover.
6. Set up the BIOS if necessary.
7. Install any necessary software drivers for the new expansion card.
Assigning IRQs for Expansion Card
Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must
exclusively be assigned to the expansion card for it to work properly. In
a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are
already in use.
