PCI Express and DVI Cards
Your computer supports one low-profile PCI Express x16 card. If your computer contains a riser-card cage, you can not install a PCI Express DVI card because
the riser-card cage blocks the DVI-card (DVI_HDR) connector on the system board.
If you are replacing a PCI Express card with a different type of PCI Express card, remove the current driver for the card from the operating system. See the
documentation that came with the card for information.
