Working with adapters
This section provides information and instructions for installing and
removing adapters.
PCI adapters
All adapters supported by your computer use Plug and Play technology that
enables the computer to automatically configure the adapter. For more
information, see“Updating the computer configuration” on page 84 .
Adapter slots
Your computer system board has four expansion slots used to connect
adapters to the peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus. You can
install an adapter up to 330 mm (13 inches) long in the desktop model and
228 mm (9 inches)long in the tower model.
