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 three 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.

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.
