PCI_E1~4: PCIe Expansion Slots

⚠

Important

∙

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.

∙

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.
