Installing the Motherboard

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.

PCIEX16 Slot

PCI1~3 Slots

This motherboard is equipped with three 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 supple-

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

are PCI v2.3 compliant.

The PCI Express x1 slots are fully compliant to the PCI Express

Generation 2.0 (version 2.0).

PCIE1~2 Slots

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.

The PCI Express x16 slot is used to install an external PCI

Express graphics card that is fully compliant to the PCI Express

Generation 2.0 (version 2.0).
