1.6 Expansion slots

The following sub-sections describe the mainboard slots and the expansion cards that they support.
Unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so can
!
cause you physical injury and damage mainboard components.

1.6.1 Installing an expansion card

Follow these steps to install an expansion card.
1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and make the
necessary hardware settings for the card.
2. Remove the system unit cover (if your mainboard is already installed in a chassis).
3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw for later use.
4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely seated on the
slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
6. Put back the system cover.

1.6.2 Configuring an expansion card

After installing the expansion card, configure the card by adjusting the software settings.
1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See Chapter 2 for
information on BIOS setup.
2. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.

When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support "Share IRQ" or
i
that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Otherwise, conflicts will arise between the
two PCI groups, making the system unstable and the card inoperable. In this case try
another PCI Slot.
