Identify your expansion slots
Identify your expansion slots
All DigiSuite cards are installed in your computer’s expansion slots. Most
computers currently manufactured have an AGP slot, several PCI slots, and
in some cases, ISA slots. AGP and PCI slots are shorter in length than ISA
slots; as well, the different types of slots are usually of contrasting color.
While some computer motherboards have numbered slots, these do not
follow any standard industry convention. In addition, one computer may
have an AGP slot, five PCI slots and no ISA slots, whereas another may
have an AGP slot, four PCI slots and two ISA slots, and so on. With this in
mind, we’ve developed a numbering scheme for identifying each slot
position.
Computers with AGP and PCI slots only
In the case of computers
with AGP and PCI slots
only, locate the PCI slot
furthest from the AGP
slot, then begin counting
the PCI slots
toward the
AGP slot (for example,
P1, P2, P3, etc.). In the
diagram to the right,
there are five PCI slots
and an AGP slot:
Computers with AGP, PCI, and ISA slots
If your computer has AGP, PCI, and ISA slots, begin counting PCI slots
outward from the “border” between the PCI and ISA slots, as illustrated in
the following diagram:
