PCI_E1~2: PCIe Expansion Slots
PCI_E1
: PCIe 5.0 x16 (From CPU)
PCI_E2
: PCIe 5.0 x8 (From CPU)
Important
If you install a large and heavy graphics card, you need to use a tool such as
MSI
Graphics Card Bolster
to support its weight to prevent deformation of the slot.
For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using
the
PCI_E1
slot is recommended.
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.
PCI_E1 slot will run at x8 speed when installing device in the PCI_E2 slot or M2_4
slot.
PCI_E2 slot will be unavailable when installing M.2 SSD in the M2_4 slot.
