preferred slot locations. If not, consider the boot order (see Figure 4-3)
when choosing the accessory board socket in which to install the board.

Figure 4-3. Accessory Board PCI and ISA Slots

Boot order for PCI controllers is determined by slot location. The system
searches for a bootable device in the following order:

1. IDE CD-ROM drive with a bootable CD-ROM.

2. Flexible disk drive with a bootable flexible disk.

3. Embedded SCSI controller or embedded DAC.

4. PCI boards in slots in the following order: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

This boot order can be changed using the SETUP utility (press [F2]
during the boot process).

2. Remove the slot cover for each slot to be used, and store it for future use.

If you are installing any full-length PCI boards, also remove the accessory
board retainer. Push on the tab on the retainer to release it, and then slide
it out of the board guide.
