Intel Desktop Board DP45SG Product Guide Installing and Removing a PCI Express x16 Card CAUTION When installing a PCI Express card on the Desktop Board, ensure that the card is fully seated in the PCI Express connector before you power on the system. If the card is not fully seated in the connector, an electrical short may result across the connector pins. Depending on the over-current protection of the power supply, certain Desktop Board components and/or traces may be damaged. Installing Multiple PCI Express x16 Graphics Cards If you are installing a single PCI Express x16 graphics card, install it in the PCI Express primary connector (Figure 19, A) for optimum performance. However, if you are installing two PCI Express x16 graphics cards, install one in the PCI Express x16 primary connector (Figure 19, A) and one in the secondary connector (Figure 19, B). Figure 19.
