Expansion Slots

The EVGA nForce 750i SLI motherboard contains six expansion slots, three PCI Express slots and
three PCI slots. For a full list of PCI Express x16 graphics card supported by this motherboard, go to
www.nvidia.com/estore.

PCI Slots

The three PCI slots support many expansion cards
such as a LAN card, USB card, SCSI card and other
cards that comply with PCI specifications. When
installing a card into the PCI slot, be sure that it is
fully seated. Secure the card's metal bracket to the
chassis back panel with the screw used to hold the
blank cover.

PCI Express x1 Slot

There is one PCI Express x1 slot that is designed to
accommodate less bandwidth-intensive cards, such
as a modem or LAN card. The x1 slot provides 250
MB/sec bandwidth.

PCI Express x16 Slots

These two PCI Express x16 slots are reserved for graphics or video cards. The design of this mother-
board supports two PCI-Express graphics cards with x8 bandwith using NVIDIA's SLI technology.
When installing a PCI Express x16 card, be sure the retention clip snaps and locks the card into
place. If the card is not seated properly, it could cause a short across the pins. Secure the card's
metal bracket to the chassis back panel with the screw used to hold the blank cover.
For Single Mode, insert the VGA card into the "PCIE X16_1" VGA slot. (labeled on the board).
The "PCIE X16_2" VGA slot will become inactive.
For SLI Mode, an SLI kit must be installed to the golden fingers on the top of both VGA
cards in order to link the cards together. (The kit is purchased separately from the mother-
board).
