Overview of Components
DIMM Slots
Please install the memory module into the DIMM slot as shown below.
Important
y
Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less
than the amount of installed.
y
Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or
less for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we
recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than
4GB memory on the motherboard.
PCI_E1~2, PCI1~2: PCIe/ PCI Expansion Slots
PCI_E1
: PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (CPU lanes)
PCI_E2
: PCIe 2.0 x1 slot (PCH lanes)
PCI1
: PCI slot
PCI2
: PCI slot
Important
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
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
