2.10 - 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 slots that appear on your motherboard.
4 PCI-E x8 slots with PCI-E x8 signal
1 PCI-E x8 slot with PCI-E x4 signal
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.
NOTE
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.
