Chapter 2: Hardware information

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following subsections describe the

slots and the expansion cards that they support.

To install an expansion card:

1.

Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and

make the necessary hardware settings for the card.

2.

Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis).

3.

Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw for later

use.

4.

Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely

seated on the slot.

5. 

Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.

6.

Replace the system cover.

After installing the expansion card, configure it by adjusting the software settings.

1.

Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See Chapter 4 for 

information on BIOS setup.

2.

Assign an IRQ to the card.

Refer to the table Standard Interrupt assignments in section Interrupt assignments for 

more information.

3. 

Install the software drivers for the expansion card.

Ensure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do 

so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components.

When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support “Share IRQ” or that

the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Otherwise, conflicts may arise between the two

PCI groups, making the system unstable and the card inoperable.
