Installing Add-On Cards - ECS C7VCM2 Manual

Installing Add-on Cards

The slots on this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and connect them to the
system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or enhancing the motherboard's features
and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can increase the motherboard's capabili-
ties by adding hardware that performs tasks that are not part of the basic system.
PCI1 Slot This motherboard is equipped with one PCI slot. PCI stands for Peripheral
Component Interconnect and is a bus standard for expansion cards, which for
the most part, is a supplement of the older ISA bus standard. The PCI slot on
this board is PCI v2.2 compliant.
Before installing an add-on card, check the documentation for the card
carefully. If the card is not Plug and Play, you may have to manually
configure the card before installation.
