Follow these guidelines when adding an expansion card:
²
PCI video expansion cards should be installed in one of the four primary PCI slots
(PCI1 through PCI4).
²
You can install full-length expansion cards in PCI slots PCI3 through PCI6 and ISA
slots ISA5 and ISA6. PCI slots PCI1 and PCI2 support half-length expansion
cards.
²
If you are installing one or more small computer system interface (SCSI) host
adapter cards, the boot order is influenced by the particular expansion slot in
which the card is installed. In descending order of precedence, the system boot
order is as follows: CD-ROM, diskette, PCI1, PCI2, PCI3, PCI4, PCI5, PCI6, and
built-in SCSI host adapter (internal drives).
²
An optional Dell Remote Assistant Card, version 2.0, must be installed in slot
PCI4.
