Installing expansion cards
The system comes with two PCI slots, one PCI Express x8 slot, and one PCI
Express x1 slot.
Make sure to unplug the power supply before installing or removing an
expansion card(s). Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both
the motherboard and the components.
To install an expansion card:
1.
Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that
came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2.
Lay the system on its side on a flat, stable surface.
3.
Remove the metal bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use.
Keep the metal bracket screw
for later use.
4.
Align the card connector with
the slot, then press firmly until
the card is completely seated on
the slot.
5.
Secure the card with the metal
bracket screw you removed
earlier.
