Installing Add-on Cards

The slots in this mainboard are designed to hold expansion cards and connect
them to the system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or enhancing
the mainboard's features and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you
can increase the mainboard's capabilities by adding hardware which performs
tasks that are not part of the basic system.
PCI Slots PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit
PCI interface.

8x AGP card which is also backward compatible with 4x AGP card.

tionality.
Note: 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 con-
figure the card before installation.
