PCI Slot
The one PCI slot support many expansion cards such as a LAN card, USB card,
SCSI card and other cards that comply with PCI specifications. When installing
a card into the PCI slot, be sure that it is fully seated. Secure the card’s metal
bracket to the chassis back panel with the screw used to hold the blank cover.
PCI Express x1 Slot
There is one PCI Express x1 slot that is designed to accommodate less
bandwidth-intensive cards, such as a modem or LAN card. The x1 slots provide
250 MB/sec bandwidth.
PCI Express x16 Slots
These four PCI Express x16/x8 slots are reserved for video cards, and x1/x4
devices. The bandwidth of the x16 slot is up to 4GB/sec (8GB/sec concurrent).
The design of this motherboard supports three PCI-Express graphics cards
using NVIDIA’s SLI technology with multiple displays.
When installing a PCI Express x16 card, be sure the retention clip snaps and
locks the card into place. If the card is not seated properly, it could cause a
short across the pins. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel
with the screw used to hold the blank cover.
