Expansion Slots

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 in-
crease the motherboard's capabilities by adding hardware that performs tasks that are
not part of the basic system.

The PCI Express x16 slot is used to install an external PCI
Express graphics card that is fully compliant to the PCI Express
Generation 2.0.
The PCI Express x1 slot is fully compliant to the PCI Express

This motherboard is equipped with two standard PCI slots. PCI
stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect and is a bus stan-
dard for expansion cards, which for the most part, is a supple-
ment of the older ISA bus standard. The PCI slots on this board
are PCI v2.3 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.
