2.8 - 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 appear on your motherboard.
PCI-E x16 slot (w/ x8 bus)
NOTE: If a PCI-E x16 VGA adapter is inserted into this slot, the VGA card will only work at
PCI-E x1 speed; this is a chipset limitation.
PCI-X 1.0 64/133 slot
32/33 PCI 2.3 slot
NOTE
YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector from the
motherboard before performing system hardware changes.
Otherwise you may damage the board and/or expansion
device.
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.
