4. How to Add an Expansion
Board
The expansion slots on your mainboard are designed to accept a
wide variety of cards or boards. Components such as scanners,
tape backup units, video capture devices, and many others use
expansion cards (also called expansion boards) to communicate
with the CPU on the mainboard. Often adding these components
is as easy as opening the case, slipping the new card into an
empty expansion slot, and connecting the component to the
card.
To add an expansion board:
1. Turn off the monitor and system unit power and unplug the
AC power cords from the wall outlet.
2. Open the system unit case (see
How to Open a Desktop
Case , earlier).
3. Find an empty expansion slot or, if you are replacing an
expansion card already in your system (such as when
upgrading your video card), locate the old card.
4. Unscrew the mounting screw and remove the blank bracket
by sliding it up. If you are removing an old expansion card,
carefully lift it straight up.
5. Set any jumpers or switches on the new card. See the
expansion board’s documentation for the correct jumper
settings.
