Installing Circuit Cards in the System 5000
The System 5000 contains eight EISA expansion slots. Figure 2-9 shows the position of all the
expansion cards within the System 5000 host processor.
Each card should be installed in a specific slot. Table 2-1 gives the proper slot assignments for
each card for the host processor.
To insert the circuit cards into a slot, perform the following steps:
1. Locate the eight EISA slots inside the System 5000 (see Figure 2-9).
2. Take the first circuit card you intend to install and locate the proper slot for that card (see
Table 2-1).
3. Remove the slot cover screw and the slot cover for the slot in which you intend to install
the card. Save the screw for later in this procedure. Save the slot cover in case the circuit
card is removed in the future.
