Important
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.
