Same as any other slot, to allow the board to work with the card in the slot.
Very outdated slot.

What is the main function of the isa slot?
IA stands for Industrial Standard Architecture and is used for transfer data bits
ISA is a type of?
Adapter Slot
How many pins are in an ISA slot?
The 8-bit slot had 62 pins. The 16-bit slot had an additional 36 pins.
What is connected to an ISA Slot?
Many devices were historically available for ISA slots. Modems, sound cards, video cards, hard disk controllers, terminal emulators, and network interfaces are all examples of devices that were available for the ISA slot.
Is 8-bit ISA forwards-compatible with 16-bit ISA?
Most 8-bit ISA cards should work in a 16-bit slot (unless they are hardwired to an incompatible IRQ or have a skirt on them). Some 16-bit ISA cards can operate in an 8-bit slot, but most will not.
Which kind of slot is typically used to support low-speed devices?
ISA
What is the Data Bus width for an ISA slot?
ISA slots are available in both 8-bit and 16-bit form.
What type of expansion slot do and slower devices use?
The original IBM compatible parts used an 8-bit ISA slot. After that, they moved to a 16-bit ISA slot. There were other things like a VESA slot that didn't last for long. Then there were PCI slots (not express), and AGP was a faster video card slot standard. Then PCI-express replaced both PCI and AGP.
What type of expansion slot older and slower devices use?

Then there were PCI slots (not express), and AGP was a faster video card slot standard. Then PCI-express replaced both PCI and AGP.
What is meaning of ISA slot in computer hardware?
An ISA slot may be used to add a video card, a network card, or an extra serial port. By the end of the twentieth century, ISA ports were beginning to be replaced by faster PCI and AGP slots. Now, most computers only support PCI and AGP expansion cards.
Which expansion slot type started as an 8 bit architecture and expanded to 16 bits?
The ISA slot started as 8-bit, and then evolved to 16-bits.
What is the ISA expansion slot?
ISA is the precursor to PCI. Standing for "Industry Standard Architecture" It was common from the early 1980s to the mid 1990s. ISA was a typically inelegant solution for the time, and required one to know exactly what one was doing- PnP was rare, even for so called "ISA PnP" peripherals. In the end, the combination of flexibility, ease of use, and greater capability allowed PCI to supersede ISA.
