2.11 – Installing Add-In Cards
Before installing add-in cards, it's helpful to know if they are fully compatible with your
motherboard. For this reason, we've provided the diagrams below, showing the most common
slots that may appear on your motherboard. Not all of the slots shown will necessarily appear
on your motherboard, however, there will be combinations of what you see here.
4X/8X AGP Pro50 Slot - 1.5/0.8 Volts
4X/8X AGP Slot - 1.5/0.8 Volts
32 bit - 33MHz PCI Slot - 5 Volts
DDR SDRAM DIMM Slot
Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card firmly. Do not force any
add-in cards (or anything else) into any slots if they won't seat in place. It's better to try
another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard and the add-
in card.
TIP: It's a good practice to install add-in cards in a staggered manner, rather than directly
adjacent to each other. This allows air to more easily circulate within the chassis, providing
improved cooling for all installed devices.
Note: YOU MUST unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing system
hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or expansion device.
