Important
If you install a large and heavy graphics card, you need to use a tool such as MSI
to support its weight to prevent deformation of
the slot.
For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using
the slot is recommended.
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.
These connectors are SATA 6Gb/s interface ports. Each connector can connect to one
SATA device.

transmission otherwise.
SATA cables have identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However, it is
recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for space
saving purposes.
SATA5 and SATA6 will be unavailable when installing M.2 PCIe SSD in the M2_3 slot.
