Installing Add-In Cards
Before installing add-in cards, it’s helpful to know if they are fully compatible
with your motherboard. For this reason, we’ve provided the diagrams below,
showing the most common slots that may appear on your motherboard. Not
all of the slots shown will necessarily appear on your motherboard.
PC I-X (6 4/133)
PCI Express x16 Slot
Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card
firmly. Do not force any add-in cards into any slots if they do not seat in
place. It is better to try another slot or return the faulty card rather than
damaging both the motherboard and the add-in card.

YOU MUST ALWAYS
unplug the power connector from the
motherboard before performing system hardware changes.
Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion
device.
