1.4 Expansion Card

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections describe

the slots and the expansion cards that they support.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing

expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and

damage motherboard components.

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 motherboard 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. Replace the system cover.

After installing the expansion card, configure it 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. Assign an IRQ to the card if needed. Refer to the tables on the next page.

3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.

This motherboard supports one PCI Express x1 slot that complies with the PCI Express

specifications.
