4). Install Expansion Cards
This section describes how to connect an expansion card to one of your
system expansion slots. Expansion cards are printed circuit boards that, when
connected to the mainboard, increase the capabilities of your system. For
example, expansion cards can provide video and sound capabilities. The
mainboard features one AGP, one ACR, and five PCI bus expansion slots.
CAUTION: Make sure to unplug the power supply when adding or
removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to
do so may cause severe damage to both the mainboard and
expansioncards.
Always observe static electricity precautions.
Please read Handling Precautions at the start of this manual.

slot.
2. Remove the corresponding slot cover from the computer chassis.
Unscrew the mounting screw that secures the slot cover and pull
the slot cover out from the computer chassis. Keep the slot cover
