Installing the Motherboard

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.

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.

This motherboard is equipped with one standard PCI slot. PCI

stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect and is a bus stan-

dard for expansion cards, which for the most part, is a supple-

ment of the older ISA bus standard. The PCI slot on this board is

PCI v2.3 compliant.
