Important
y
If you install a large and heavy
graphics card, you need to use a tool
such as MSI Gaming Series Graphics
Card Bolster to support its weight to
prevent deformation of the slot.
y
For a single PCIe x16 expansion card
installation with optimum performance,
using the PCI_E1 slot is recommended.
y
When adding or removing expansion
cards, always turn off the power supply
and unplug the power supply power
cable from the power outlet. Read the
expansion card’s documentation to
check for any necessary additional
hardware or software changes.
