Expansion slots

Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing
expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.

Installing an expansion card

Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that
came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already
installed in a chassis).
Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep
the screw for later use.
Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is
completely seated on the slot.
Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
Replace the system cover.
