General motherboard recommendations

When selecting a motherboard for your system with Spectrum instrumentation cards please check the following topics with the motherboard manual:

• Is there enough space behind the slot connector? Please note that the Spectrum cards of M2i and M3i series require full length. Some motherboards have straight SATA connectors, cooling plates or even memory modules placed directly behind the slot connectors
• Are all PCI Express slots available by default or is there some limitaion in the BIOS. It may for example be that if the graphics adapter requires x16 connection another PCI Express slot is disabled
• Is the graphics adapter blocking an adjacent slot due to the cooling?
