2.6 Expansion slots
In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following
sub-sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.
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.

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.

When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support
“Share IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments; otherwise,
conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups, making the system
unstable and the card inoperable.

The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) slot supports AGP8X/4X cards. When
you buy an AGP card, make sure that you ask for one with +1.5V
specification. Note the notches on the card golden fingers to ensure that
they fit the AGP slot on your motherboard.

• If you will install only one hard disk drive, make sure to configure
your hard disk drive as Master device before connecting the IDE
cable and power plug. Refer to the HDD documentation on how to
set the drive as a Master device.
• If you will install two IDE hard disk drives, configure the other device
as Slave.

connector (blue connector labeled PRI_IDE1) on the motherboard. See
page 4-6 for the location of the PRI_IDE1 connector.
3. Connect the gray interface of the IDE ribbon cable to the IDE
connector on the drive.
4. If you install two IDE hard disk drives, connect the black interface of
the IDE ribbon cable to the IDE connector on the second (Slave) IDE
hard disk drive.
