Updating the BIOS Installing and Removing a PCI Express* x16 Card CAUTION When installing a PCI Express* card on the Intel® Workstation Board WX58BP, ensure 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 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 them in the PCI Express* x16 primary (Figure 19, A) and secondary connectors (Figure 19, B). Figure 19.
