Removing or Installing an Expansion Card The computer has the following expansion slots: ● one ADD2/SDVO expansion slot ● one low-profile PCI Express x1 expansion slot ● one PCI expansion slot populated with a riser card that can accommodate two full-height PCI cards Figure 2-11 Expansion Slot Locations Item 1 2 3 Description ADD2/SDVO expansion slot PCI Express x1 expansion slot, low profile PCI expansion slot, low profile populated with riser card CAUTION: The PCI expansion slot ships populated with a PCI riser card. To avoid damage to the riser card or installed PCI expansion cards, be sure to remove all installed PCI expansion cards before attempting to remove the riser card from the chassis. NOTE: The computer only supports the use of normal (or non-reversed) layout ADD2 (Advanced Digital Display 2) adapter cards inserted into the SDVO (Serial Digital Video Output) connector on the platform's system board. ADD2 cards are used to give multi-monitor capabilities to the integrated graphics controller. The ADD2/SDVO connector on the system board has the physical appearance of a PCI Express x16 connector; however, the platform does NOT support the use of conventional PCI Express cards or reversed-layout ADD2 cards. Installing and Removing an ADD2/SDVO Card or a PCI Express Card You can install a ADD2/SDVO expansion card and a low-profile PCI Express x1 expansion card in the computer.
