Installing Add-In Cards
At some point, you may want to add a PCI or
AGP card to the computer to accommodate a
new component, such as a scanner, or to
upgrade an existing card.
Warning:
Do not overload the system
by installing add-in cards that draw
excessive current. The system is designed
to provide 2 amps (average) of +5 V
power for each board/card in the
computer. The total +5 V current draw in
a fully loaded system (one with all add-
in card slots filled) must not exceed the
total number of slots multiplied by
2 amps.
