Choose an expansion slot
2
Most computers have different types of
expansion slots. Choose a PCI Express
(PCIe) ×16 or ×1 slot depending on the
type of card. Your system manual should
identify the location of each type of
expansion slot in your computer.
Note:
We recommend using a PCIe ×16
slot with 16 lane support. If your system
has multiple PCIe ×16 slots, your choice
of PCIe slots may affect your card or
system performance. For more
information, see your computer manual.
WARNING:
Inserting your Matrox card
into the wrong type of slot could damage
your card, your computer, or both.
