Expansion slots

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The motherboard
has six PCI slots, one Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) slot, and a
Communications and Networking Riser (CNR) slot. The following sub-
sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.

2.6.1 Installing an expansion card

Follow these steps to install an expansion card.

1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that

came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.

2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed

in a chassis).

3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the

screw for later use.

4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.

5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.

6. Replace the system cover.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing
expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.
