Expansion Cards
The system provides for up to 5 ISA expansion cards; with the optional VESA� riser
card installed, the system can support up to 2 cards adhering to the VESA VL-Bus
specification.
NOTE: For systems with the DX2 processor, the bottom expansion card slot is restricted
to a half-length size. The DX2 processor and its heat sink are mounted on a daughter card,
which gets in the way of a full length card.
ISA Expansion Slots
5 ISA 16-bit expansion-card connectors reside on the ISA riser board; the riser board
plugs into the RISER connector on the system board and is considered an extension of the
system board.
NOTE: The bottom expansion card slot is restricted to a half-height length card if the
computer has a DX 4 microprocessor.
The expansion-card connectors are labeled "ISA1" through "ISA5."
ISA Riser Board and VESA Riser Card
VESA Expansion Slots
The VL-Bus provides a standardized interface that lets certain high-speed peripherals
connect directly to the microprocessor's local bus. The optional VESA riser card plugs
into the VESA riser card connector (RISER_2) on the system board.
Expansion-Slot Limitations
VL-Bus cards must also connect to the ISA bus. The connectors on the VESA riser card
are aligned with those of the ISA riser board, so that an installed VL-Bus card uses
connectors on both the VESA riser card and the ISA riser board.
