Installing the Motherboard
1. 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.
2. Long add-on cards may be bulky that it could block the heatsink; there
fore, please insert short add-on cards.
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.
For some add-on cards, for example graphics adapters and network adapt-
ers, you have to install drivers and software before you can begin using the
add-on card.
AGP Slot
The AGP slot is used to install a graphics adapter that supports the 8X/4X
AGP specification. It is AGP 3.0 compliant.
PCI1~5Slots
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 v2.3 compliant.
