Expansion Slots

The EVGA nForce motherboard contains four expansion slots, two PCI Express slots and

two PCI slots.

PCI Slots

The two PCI slots support many expansion cards such as a LAN card, USB card, SCSI card

and other cards that comply with PCI specifications. When installing a card into the PCI

slot, be sure that it is fully seated. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel

with the screw used to hold the blank cover.

PCI Express x1 Slot

There is one PCI Express x1 slot that is designed to accommodate less bandwidth-intensive

cards, such as a modem or LAN card. The x1 slot provides 250 MB/sec bandwidth.

PCI Express x16 Slot

The PCI Express x16 slot is reserved for a graphics card. The bandwidth of the x16 slot is

up to 4GB/sec (8GB/sec concurrent). When installing a PCI Express x16 card, be sure the

retention clip snaps and locks the card into place. If the card is not seated properly, it could

cause a short across the pins. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with

the screw used to hold the blank cover.
