Installing Add-on Cards

The slots on this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and connect them to the system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or enhancing the motherboard’s features and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can increase the motherboard’s capabilities by adding hardware that performs tasks that are not part of the basic system.

PCIE16X Slot The PCI Express x16 slot is used to install an external PCI Express graphics card that is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification revision 2.0

PCIE1X1 Slot	The PCI Express x1 slot is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification
	revision 2.0 as well.
	Before installing an add-on card, check the documentation for the card carefully. If the card
is	not Plug and Play, you may have to manually configure the card before installation.
