PCI Expansion Card Upgrades NOTE: This computer does not support older expansion card technologies, such as Industry-Standard Architecture (ISA) cards. The riser board accommodates up to two one-third-length, 32-bit Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) expansion cards. PCI expansion-card connector 1 (PCI1) is reserved for use with Dimension 900 system-specific expansion cards available only from Dell (see "Available Upgrades" in Chapter 1). PCI expansion-card connector 2 (PCI2) is available for use with any one-third-length commercial PCI card. Figure 2-6 shows a typical one-third-length PCI expansion card. Figure 2-7 shows the two PCI expansion-card connectors on the riser board. PCI expansion card Figure 2-6. PCI Expansion Card PCI2 connector PCI1 connector Figure 2-7.

Also check the Windows 98, Windows Me, or Windows 2000 Device Manager, or Windows NT Diagnostics for an available interrupt request (IRQ) line that is supported by the card. 2-12 Dell Dimension 900 System Reference and Troubleshooting Guide
