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.
PCI Slots
PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI
interface
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.
