Installing the Motherboard
Installing Add-on Cards
The slots on this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and connect them to the
system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or enhancing the motherboard’s features
and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can increase the motherboard’s capabili-
ties by adding hardware that performs tasks that are not part of the basic system.
Before installing an add-on card, check the documentation for the card
carefully. If the card is not Plug and Play, you may have to manually
configure the card before installation.
PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI inter-
face.
