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 in-

crease the motherboard’s capabilities 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.

This motherboard is equipped with two 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 v2.3 compliant.
