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 in-
crease the motherboard’s capabilities 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.
