The PCI slots allow you to insert the expansion cards to meet your needs.
When adding or removing expansion cards, make sure that you unplug the power
supply first. Meanwhile, read the documentation for the expansion card to make any
necessary hardware or software settings for the expansion card, such as jumpers,
switches or BIOS configuration. The mainboard provides three Master 64-bit PCI
(also called PCI-X) bus slots and one 32-bit PCI slot.
