Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
Expansion Slots
This motherboard includes two 32-bit Master PCI bus slots, one PCI Express
x16 slot and PCI Express x1 slot.
PCI Slots
The expansion cards can be installed in the two PCI slots. When you install or
take out such cards, you must make sure that the power plug has been pulled
out. Please read carefully the instructions provided for such cards, and install
and set the necessary hardware and software for such cards, such as the
jumper or BIOS settings.
PCI Express Slots
PCI Express will offer the following design advantages over the PCI and AGP
interface:
-Compatible with existing PCI drivers and software and Operating Systems.
-High Bandwidth per Pin. Low overhead. Low latency.
-PCI Express supports a raw bit-rate of 2.5 Gb/s on the data pins. This
results in a real bandwidth per pair of 250 MB/s.
-A point to point connection, allows each device to have a dedicated connec-
tion without sharing bandwidth.
-Ability to comprehend different data structure.
-Low power consumption and power management features.
PCI Express will take two forms, x16 and x1 PCI Express slots. Whereas thePCI
Express x16 slot is reserved for graphic/video cards, the PCI Express x1 slots
are designed to accommodate less bandwidth-intensive cards, such as a mo-
dem or LAN card.
The difference in bandwidth between thePCI Expressx16 and PCI Express x1
slots are not able to be sure, with the x16 slot pushing 4GB/sec (8GB/sec
concurrent) of bandwidth, and the PCI Express x1 slot offering 250MB/sec.
