1.11 The Expansion Slots
In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections describe the
expansion slots and the expansion cards that they support.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards.
Fail to do so may cause injury and damage mainboard.
There are 4 PCI Express slots on this motherboard:
PCIE1 (PCIE x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16, or PCI Express x4 cards.
PCIE2 (PCIE x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 cards.
PCIE3 (PCIE x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 cards.
PCIE4 (PCIE x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 cards.
