Expansion Slots, Install your Operating System

Expansion Slots

The EVGA nForce motherboard contains four expansion slots, two 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 or LAN card. The x1 slot provides 250 MB/sec bandwidth.

PCI Express x16 Slot

The PCI Express x16 slot is reserved for a graphics card. The bandwidth of the x16 slot is up to 4GB/sec (8GB/sec concurrent). 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.

Install your Operating System

Boot up your machine, setup any hardware configurations within the BIOS setup if needed. Boot from your OS disk. Once your operating system is installed use the provided driver disk to install the appropriate drivers.
