2.10 - Installing Add-In Cards

Before installing add-in cards, it's helpful to know if they are fully compatible
with your motherboard. For this reason, we've provided the diagrams below,
showing the slots that may appear on your motherboard.
PCI-E x 16 slot (w/x8 link)
PCI-E x 8 slot (w/x4 link/ w/x8 link)
PCI-E x 1 slot
PCI 32bit slot
Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card firmly.
Do not force any add-in cards into any slots if they do not seat in place. It is
better to try another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both
the motherboard and the add-in card.
TIP: It's good practice to install add-in cards in a staggered manner rather
than making them directly adjacent to each other. Doing so allows air to
circulate within the chassis more easily, thus improving cooling for all
installed devices.
YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector to the motherboard
before performing system hardware changes to avoid damaging the
board or expansion device.
