2.4  Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

There are 5 PCI Express slots on the motherboard.

PCIe slots: 

PCIE1 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards. 
PCIE2 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width graphics cards.  
PCIE3 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards.  
PCIE4 (PCIe 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards. 
PCIE5 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x8 lane width graphics cards.  
* If you install CPU with 48 lanes, PCIE1/PCIE2/PCIE3/PCIE5 will run at x16/x4/
x16/x8. 
* If you install CPU with 44 lanes, PCIE1/PCIE2/PCIE3/PCIE5 will run at x16/x4/
x16/x8. 
* If you install CPU with 28 lanes, PCIE1/PCIE2/PCIE3/PCIE5 will run at x16/x4/
x8/x0.

PCIe Slot Configurations (For CPU with 48 PCIe lanes)

Before installing an expansion card, please make sure that the power supply is switched off 
or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the documentation of the expansion card and
