Expansion slots | 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot*** (max. at x4 mode, compatible with |
| PCIe x1 and x4 devices) |
| 2 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot*** (compatible with PCIe x1) |
| * The PCIe x16_4 slot shares bandwidth with M.2 x4. When the M.2 |
| socket is occupied, the PCIe x16_4 will be disabled. |
| ** The PCIe x16_3 slot supports x8 devices only. |
| ***The PCIe x16_2, PCIe x1_1, and USB3_E56 connectors share the |
| same bandwidth. By default, the PCIe x16_2 slot and PCIe x1_1 slot |
| automatically run at x1 mode with USB3_E56 enabled for best resource |
| optimization. |
