Slot

2,

PCI

Express

x4

(x1)

Important:

The

x4

designation

in

parentheses

for

slot

2

identifies

an

x4

slot

that

is

designed

to

support

x4

and

x1

adapters

that

can

downshift

to

operate

at

the

x1

bandwidth.

For

example,

if

you

install

an

x4

adapter

in

slot

2

that

can

downshift

to

x1

bandwidth,

it

will

run

at

the

x1

bandwidth.

The

x4

connector

(slot

2)

can

be

used

for

x1

and

x4

adapters.

Check

the

information

that

comes

with

your

adapter

for

compatibility

information.
