2.11 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 slots that may
appear on your motherboard.
PCI-E Gen. 2 x 16 slot (x16 signal)
PCI-E x8 slot (x8 signal)
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.
TIP: It’s a good practice to install add-in cards in a staggered manner rather than making them
directly adjacent to each other. Doing so allows air to circulate within the chassis more easily,
thus improving cooling for all installed devices.
NOTE: You must always unplug the power connector to the motherboard before
performing system hardware changes to avoid damaging the board or expansion
device.
