2.7Installing an expansion card

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The motherboard has one PCI and one PCI Express™ x16 slot for a discrete graphics card. The following sub-sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage the motherboard.

2.7.1Expansion slots

PCI slot

The PCI slot supports PCI cards such as a LAN card, SCSI card, USB card, and other cards that comply with PCI specifications. The following figure shows a LAN card installed on a PCI slot.

PCI Express™ x16 slot

This motherboard supports PCI Express™ x16 graphic cards that comply with PCI Express™ specifications. The figure shows a graphics card installed on the PCI Express™ x16 slot.

Make sure to connect the 4-pin power plug from the power supply unit to the ATX12V2 connector on the motherboard before installing a PCI Express™ x16 graphic card. See page 4-10 for the location of the ATX12V2 connector.
