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.

This motherboard is equipped with two standard PCI slots. PCI
stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect and is a bus
standard for expansion cards, which for the most part, is a
supplement of the older ISA bus standard. The PCI slot on this
board is 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.
