Overview of Components
PCI_E1~4: PCIe Expansion Slots
Important
y
PCI_E4 slot will be unavailable when an M.2 SSD is installed in the M2_2 slot.
y
PCI_E2 slot will be unavailable when an expansion card is installed in the PCI_E3
slot.
y
If you install a large and heavy graphics card, you need to use a tool such as
MSI
Gaming Series Graphics Card Bolster
to support its weight to prevent deformation of
the slot.
y
For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using
the
PCI_E1
slot is recommended.
y
When adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and
unplug the power supply power cable from the power outlet. Read the expansion
card
s documentation to check for any necessary additional hardware or software
changes.
JFP1, JFP2: Front Panel Connectors
