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.

  Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used. For optimum performance, when enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, we recommend that you install them in the DDR4_1 and DDR4_2 sockets. Installing an Expansion Card Read the following guidelines before you begin to install an expansion card: • Make sure the motherboard supports the expansion card. Carefully read the manual that came with your expansion card.
