Installing the Motherboard
Installing Add-on Cards
The slots on this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and connect them
to the system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or enhancing the
motherboard’s features and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can in-
crease the motherboard’s capabilities by adding hardware that performs tasks that are
not part of the basic system.
Before installing an add-on card, check the documentation for the card
carefully. If the card is not Plug and Play, you may have to manually
configure the card before installation.

stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect and is a bus stan-
dard for expansion cards, which for the most part, is a supple-
ment of the older ISA bus standard. The PCI slot on this board
