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 increase the motherboard’s capabili-

ties 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.

PCI1~3 Slots

This motherboard is equipped with three standard PCI slots. PCI stands

for Peripheral Component Interconnect and is a bus standard for expan-

sion cards, which for the most part, is a supplement of the older ISA bus

standard. The PCI slots on this board are PCI v2.3 compliant.

PCIEX16 Slot The PCI Express x16 slot is used to install an external PCI Express

graphics card that is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specifica-

tion revision 1.1.

PCIEX1 Slot The PCI Express x1 slot is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base

Specification revision 1.1 as well.
