PCI slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI interface. PCIE Slots: PCIE1 (PCIE x 16 slot) is used for PCI Express cards with x16 lane width graphics cards. PCIE2 (PCIE x 1 slot) is used for PCI Express cards, such as Gigabit LAN card, SATA2 card, etc. Please check the jumper set tings on page 19 for different functions. AGI Express slot (PCI Express x 4): AGI Express slot (PCI Express x 4) is used to install PCI Express expansion cards.

Fasten the card to the chassis with screws. 2.7 Dual Graphics Feature This motherboard supports Dual Graphics Technology. When installing the add-on VGA cards to this motherboard, you are allowed to choose two different ways to decide the function of PCIE2 slot (PCIE x 1) and AGI Express slot. The default value of this feature is to enable PCIE2 slot (PCIE x 1) and AGI Express slot (only PCI Express x 1). You can also adjust the jumpers to disable PCIE2 slot (PCIE x 1). Then only AGI Express slot (PCI Express x 4) will be enabled. In other words, you are able to adjust the jumpers to enjoy the benefit of Dual Graphics feature.
