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.
YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from the
NOTE motherboard before performing system hardware changes. Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion device.
