expansion cards, such as LAN, SCSI, or Riser cards. DN800-SATA/DN800-L provides
two PCI-Express slots (one with x16 bandwidth; another with x8 bandwidth) for the
high-end expansion card choices. Please be aware of the difference between the
PCI-Express and PCI or AGP slots. Before you install any expansion cards, please read
carefully the instruction provided by the card manufacturers.
The procedures of installation method

thumbs evenly on both sides of the card.
