Multiple graphics cards installation recommendation

Important

●

The M2_1 slot will only run PCIe 3.0

x2 speed when M2_1 slot is installed

with a M.2 PCIe device and PCI_E4

slot is installed with a PCIe x1 device

at the same time.

●

The PCI_E7 slot will slow down from

x4 to x2, when an extension card is

installed in PCI_E3/ PCI_E6 slot.

●

When adding or removing expansion

cards, always turn off the power supply

and unplug the power supply power

cable from the power outlet. Read the

expansion card’s documentation to

check for any necessary additional

hardware or software changes.
