added.
2. Press the Enter key to go to the Slot Options menu.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight Add Adapter and press the Enter key.
NCMCON then processes the request.

longer lit.

want to configure and apply power to the slot.
— If you answer Yes, power is applied to the slot, the green LED illuminates,
and the status of the slot changes to READY.
— If you answer No, the console status does not change.
8. Press the Enter key to go to the Slot Options menu.
