2.8 - Installing Add-In Cards

Before installing add-in cards, it’s helpful to know if they are fully compatible with your motherboard. For this reason, we’ve provided the diagrams below, showing the slots that appear on your motherboard.

PCI-E x16 slot (w/ x16 bus)

PCI 32/33MHz slot

PCI-E x8 slot (w/ x8 bus)

PCI-X 64/133MHz slots

PCI 32/33MHz slot

Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card firmly. Do not force any add-in cards into any slots if they do not seat in place. It is better to try another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard and the add-in card.

NOTE the motherboard before performing system hardware changes. Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion device.
