Expansion Slots
Installing Add-on Cards
The slots on this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and connect
them to the system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or enhancing the
motherboard's features and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can in-
crease the motherboard's capabilities by adding hardware that performs tasks that are
not part of the basic system.

PCI1~2 Slots
This motherboard is equipped with two standard PCI slots. PCI
stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect and is a bus stan-
dard for expansion cards, which for the most part, is a supplement
of the older ISA bus standard. The PCI slots on this board are PCI
v2.3 compliant.
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
configure the card before installation.
