Important
If you install a large and heavy
y
graphics card, you need to use a tool
such as MSI Gaming Series Graphics
Card Bolster to support its weight to
prevent deformation of the slot.
For a single PCIe x16 expansion card
y
installation with optimum performance,
using the PCI_E1 slot is recommended.
When adding or removing expansion
y
cards, always turn off the power supply
and unplug the power supply power
cable from the power outlet. Read the
expansion card' s documentation to
check for any necessary additional
hardware or software changes.
