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.

PCI Slot

This motherboard is equipped with one PCI slot. PCI stands for Pe-
ripheral Component Interconnect and is a bus standard for expansion
cards, which for the most part, is a supplement of the older ISA bus
standard. The PCI slot on this board is PCI v2.2 compliant.

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.

This socket is used for installing C.F (CompactFlash) card.
