2.8 - 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.
Two 64-bit 133/100MHz PCI-X (white) slots
One 64-bit 133/100MHz PCI-X (green) slot
One 32-bit 33MHz PCI v2.3 slot
Two PCI-Express x16 slots (each w/ x8 signal)
NOTE
Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card
firmly. Do not force any add-in cards into any slots if they do not seat in
place. It is better to try another slot or return the faulty card rather than
damaging both the motherboard and the add-in card.
YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from
the motherboard before performing system hardware
changes. Otherwise you may damage the board and/or
expansion device.
