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 Slots
There are two PCI Express x1 slots that are designed to accommodate less
bandwidth-intensive cards, such as a modem or LAN card. The x1 slots provide
250 MB/sec bandwidth.
PCI Express x16 Slot
The PCI Express x16 slot is reserved for graphic or video cards. The bandwidth
of the x16 slot is up to 4GB/sec (8GB/sec concurrent).
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.
