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 increase the motherboard’s capabili-

ties 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.

AGP Slot

PCI Slots

This motherboard is equipped with five standard PCI slots. PCI stands for

Peripheral Component Interconnect and is a bus standard for expansion

cards, which for the most part, is a supplement of the older ISA bus standard.

The PCI slots on this board are PCI v2.2 compliant.

The AGP slot is used to install a graphics adapter that supports the 8X/4X

AGP specification. It is AGP 3.0 compliant.

Follow these instructions to install an add-on card:

1 Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the slot you

are going to use.

2 Install the edge connector of the add-on card into the expansion slot. Ensure

that the edge connector is correctly seated in the slot.

3 Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a screw.
