2.8 - 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 slots that appear on your motherboard.

PC I-X (64 /133)

PC I Expres s (x4)

PCI Expres s (x16 )

PC I Expres s (x8)

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.
