Overview of Components
PCI_E1~3: PCIe Expansion Slots
BAT
PCI_E1
: PCIe 4.0 x16 (From CPU)
PCI_E2
: PCIe 3.0 x1 (From B560 chipset)
PCI_E3
: PCIe 3.0 x1 (From B560 chipset)
Important
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.
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.
SATA1~6: SATA 6Gb/s Connectors
These connectors are SATA 6Gb/s interface ports. Each connector can connect to one
SATA device.
SATA1
SATA3
SATA6
SATA2
SATA4
SATA5
Important
Please do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result during
transmission otherwise.
SATA cables have identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However, it is
recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for space
saving purposes.
SATA2 will be unavailable when installing M.2 SATA SSD in the M2_1 slot.
