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.
It's a good practice to install add-in cards in a staggered manner, rather than directly
i
adjacent to each other. This allows air to more easily circulate within the chassis, providing
improved cooling for all installed devices.
You must unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing system
!
hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or expansion device.
