2.18 – Installing Add-In Cards

Before installing add-in cards, it’s good to be aware if they’re fully compatible with your motherboard. For this reason, we’ve provided a chart, listing the most common slots that may appear on your motherboard. Not all the slots in this diagram will be on the same board though, but there will be combinations. See below for the way the slots look and what each one means.

Simply find the appropriate slot for your expansion card and insert the card in firmly. Do not force any expansion cards (or anything else) into any slots if they refuse to go in. It’s better to try another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard and the card.

TIP: It’s good practice to spread out cards as far apart from each other as possible if you can. This gives more breathing room and sensitive electronics will cool better and perform more reliably.

YOU MUST unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing

NOTE system hardware changes, to avoid having your motherboard boot-up automatically, due to the PCI v2.2 spec.
