Secure the expansion card to the chassis using the screw removed previously.
For more information on installing expansion cards, see Chapter 9, “System Board Upgrades,”
and the documentation delivered with the expansion card.
Configuring Expansion Cards
PCI and PnP cards contain configuration registers that define the card to the system
automatically during startup. Older, non-PnP ISA expansion cards do not use configuration
registers, and require configuration before they can be installed. On a system running
Windows 95 or Windows 98, the Device Manager handles this. On a system running Windows
NT, this may be handled by a vendor configuration program provided with an ISA card.
NOTE
The system’s BIOS contains a built-in configuration menu, so no separate ISA Configuration
Utility (ICU) is needed.
Adding System Memory
You can add system memory to the computer by adding or replacing Dual Inline Memory
Modules (DIMMs) in the DIMM slots on the system board. The system board supports the
following memory module sizes:
Memory Size
DIMM Configuration (non-parity)
16 MB
2 x 64
32 MB
4 x 64
64 MB
8 x 64
128 MB
16 x 64
When adding or replacing DIMMs:
u
Use 168-pin, 64-bit, unbuffered, double-sided, PC100 DIMMs with gold-plated contacts.
u
You can add DIMMs one at a time.
u
After adding or replacing DIMMs, restart the computer. The new memory configuration is
detected automatically.
NOTE
System memory modules available from Intergraph have been certified for use with Intergraph
computers at extremes of temperature and system load to ensure reliable performance.
System memory modules available from other vendors may function improperly or unreliably in
your Intergraph computer.
NOTE
If the processor bus clock is running at 100 MHz, only PC100 DIMMs can be used.
