Multiple graphics cards installation recommendation
Important
y
The PCI_E4 slot will be unavailable when an M.2 PCIe SSD module has been
installed in the M.2_2 slot.
y
The PCI_E2/ PCI_E5 slot will be unavailable when an expansion card has been
installed in the PCI_E3/ PCI1 slot.
y
If you install a large and heavy graphics card, you need to use a tool such as MSI
Gaming Series Graphics Card Bolster to support its weight to prevent deformation
of the slot.
y
For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using
the PCI_E1 slot is recommended.
y
When adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and
unplug the power supply power cable from the power outlet. Read the expansion
card’s documentation to check for any necessary additional hardware or software
changes.
