Installing the Motherboard

Installing Add-on Cards

The slot on this motherboard is designed to hold expansion card and connect it to the
system bus. Expansion slot is a mean of adding or enhancing the motherboard’s
features and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can increase 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.

The PCI Express x16 slot with x4 bandwith is fully compliant to
the PCI Express Base Specification revision 2.0.

PCIE16X Slot

Expansion Slots

The Mini PCI Express x1 slot is for extending usage, such as wire-
less card or TV card.
