Note : * The GPU bandwidth is reduced to 6 GB/s instead of 12 GB/s when shared slots are used. Shared slots are 3 and 4.
Power supply 750 W redundant power supply
PCIe expansion slots

3 PCIe ×16 3.0 slots (×16 mechanical, ×16 electrical)

2 PCIe ×16 3.0 slots (×16 mechanical, ×16 /×8 electrical)

Notes  Requires two 120 mm x120 mm x 25 mm 150 CFM chassis fans running at full speed.

The chassis fans are connected directly to the motherboard and must run at full speed. To change the fan
speed, go to the system BIOS main page (EZ mode), select
QFan Control
, select the header to which the fans
are connected, change from
Standard
to
Full Speed
, and apply the changes.
 Two dust protection sponge filters present on the front door and in front of the fans must be removed for
proper system ventilation.
 If you use a wired mesh filter, the ambient temperature must not exceed 40 degrees C. Filter requires a
18 x 18 size 304 stainless steel wire mesh.
 To use the on-board graphics, make sure the 3-pin VGA_SW1 jumper is set to
