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 motherboards features and capabilities. With these
efficient facilities, you can increase the motherboards capabilities by adding hardware that performs tasks
that are not part of the basic system.
PCIE16X 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 Specification revision 2.0
PCIE1X1 Slot The PCI Express x1 slot is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification
revision 2.0 as well.
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.
