EVGA 21
Expansion Slots
The EVGA nForce 750i SLI motherboard contains five expansion slots, three PCI Express
slots and two PCI slots.
PCI Slots
The two PCI slots support many expansion cards such as a LAN card, USB card, SCSI card
and other cards that comply with PCI specifications. When installing a card into the PCI
slot, be sure that it is fully seated. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel
with the screw used to hold the blank cover.
PCI Express x1 Slot
There is one PCI Express x1 slot that is designed to accommodate less bandwidth-intensive
cards, such as a modem, LAN card, or soundcard card. The x1 slot provides up to 250
MB/sec bandwidth.
PCI Express x16 Slots
These three PCI Express x16 slots are reserved for graphics or video cards. The design of
this motherboard supports three PCI-Express graphics cards using NVIDIA’s SLI
technology. When installing a PCI Express x16 card, be sure the retention clip snaps and
locks the card into place. If the card is not seated properly, it could cause a short across the
pins. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with the screw used to hold
the blank cover.
¾ For Single Mode, insert the VGA card into the "PCIE X16_1" VGA slot. (Labeled on
the board). The “PCIE X16_2” VGA slot will become inactive.
