Installing an Expansion Board
CAUTION:
If you are using the desktop expansion base with a
computer in the Armada 7800 Family of Personal Computers,
installing an optional video card in the expansion base can disable
the Advanced Graphics Port functionality of the system.
Use the following procedure to install a 32-bit PCI expansion
board or a 16-bit or 8-bit full-length ISA expansion board.
■
Any expansion board can be placed in any available expansion
board slot.
■
Any two expansion boards can be installed at the same time.
If you are installing an expansion board, such as a SCSI controller,
that requires a cable connection to a half-height
bay, refer to the expansion board documentation for
connection information.
NOTE:
A SCSI device can be used externally by connecting it to the
external connector on the SCSI controller. For information, refer
to “Accessing Expansion Board Connectors” in this chapter.
