2.25 – Installing Add-In Cards
Before installing add-in cards, it’s helpful to know if they are fully compatible with
your motherboard. For this reason, we’ve provided the diagrams below, showing the
most common slots that may appear on your motherboard. Not all of the slots
shown will necessarily appear on your motherboard.
PCI-E x 16 slot (w/ x 4 signal)
PCI-E x 16 slot (w/ x 8 signal)
PCI-E x 16 slot (w/ x 8 signal)
Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card firmly. Do
not force any add-in cards into any slots if they do not seat in place. It is better to try
another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard
and the add-in card.
NOTE
YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from the
motherboard before performing system hardware changes.
Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion device.
