Expansion Slots of Casing

What is Expansion Slots of Casing?

Expansion slots on a computer case are designed to allow additional cards to be installed onto the motherboard.

These cards can provide additional functionality, such as graphics processing, audio, or networking capabilities. Expansion slots come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, but the most common are PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) and PCIe (PCI Express) slots. PCI slots are an older technology and are typically used for devices that require less bandwidth, such as sound cards or modems. PCIe slots are faster and can provide more bandwidth for high-performance devices like graphics cards. Expansion slots are located on the back of the computer case and are typically covered by a removable panel. To install an expansion card, you will need to remove this panel and then insert the card into the appropriate slot on the motherboard. Once the card is installed, you can connect any necessary cables and install any required drivers to start using the device.
