Adding Expansion Cards
You can add Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP), Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI),
Plug and Play (PnP), and Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) expansion cards by installing
them in the system’s expansion slots. The following figure shows the location of the expansion
slots on the system board. Install PnP cards in any expansion slot. The lowest PCI slot and the
highest ISA slot are shared; you can install an expansion card into one or the other, but not
both.
NOTE
Plug and Play (PnP) support is not currently available in Windows NT.
NOTE
Expansion slots are half-length in a TD-260 mini-tower, and full-length in a TD-260 desktop.
