Installing expansion cards
There are two kinds of expansion slots available on your mainboard: PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) and AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port).
To install an expansion card:
1Remove the housing panels. Refer to page 36 for more detailed instructions.
2Locate an empty expansion slot on the mainboard.
3Remove the metal bracket opposite the selected empty expansion slot by removing the screw that holds the bracket to the housing then pulling out the bracket.
4Remove the expansion card from its protective packaging.
5Align the card in the empty bracket. Make sure that the card is properly seated.
