Method of configuring computers with expansion cards

A method of configuring a computer with an expansion card, the method comprising:

• providing a connection between a detecting pin in a slot of a motherboard of the computer to an identifying finger of the expansion card by installing the expansion card into the slot;
• detecting an identification of the expansion card through the detecting pin while performing a BIOS program of the computer;
• loading an associated configuration program with the expansion card of the BIOS program;
• and
• executing a basic hardware initializing program of the BIOS program;
• wherein the expansion card detecting program comprises contents, the contents correspond to an identification of the expansion card;
• detecting an identification of the expansion card further comprises:
• determining if an identification number from the detecting pin matches one of the contents in the expansion card detecting program, and if matching, then loading the configuration program associated with the content;
• if the identification number from the detecting pin does not match one of the contents of the expansion card detecting program, then loading a default configuration program.

A method of configuring an expansion card in a motherboard of a computer while performing a BIOS program through an expansion card detecting program executed by a processor, the expansion card detecting program comprising contents which associating with a plurality of configuration programs, the method comprising:

• detecting the expansion card by reading signals from an identifying finger of the expansion card through a detecting pin of a slot of the motherboard;
• determining if an identification number from the detecting pin matches a first content of the contents;
• loading a matched configuration program associated with the first content when the identification number from the detecting pin matches the first content;
• and
• loading a default configuration program when the identification number from the detecting pin does not match the first content.
