one PCI Express x16 expansion slot that is downshifted to a x4 slot.
NOTE: You can install a PCI Express x1, x8, or x16 expansion card in the PCI Express x16 slot.
For dual graphics card configurations, the first (primary) card must be installed in the PCI Express
x16 slot that is NOT downshifted to a x4.

3. Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, then turn off any external devices.
4. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect any external devices.
