Item Description
1 ADD2/SDVO expansion slot
2 PCI Express x1 expansion slot, low profile
3 PCI expansion slot, low profile populated
with riser card
CAUTION: The PCI expansion slot ships populated with a PCI riser card. To avoid damage to the riser
card or installed PCI expansion cards, be sure to remove all installed PCI expansion cards before
attempting to remove the riser card from the chassis.
NOTE: The computer only supports the use of normal (or non-reversed) layout ADD2 (Advanced
Digital Display 2) adapter cards inserted into the SDVO (Serial Digital Video Output) connector on the
platform's system board. ADD2 cards are used to give multi-monitor capabilities to the integrated
graphics controller.
The ADD2/SDVO connector on the system board has the physical appearance of a PCI Express x16
connector; however, the platform does NOT support the use of conventional PCI Express cards or
reversed-layout ADD2 cards.
