The expansion slot is a simple 2x10 header. We suggest the use of a TE card-edge connector, but you could equally use two 1x10 pin-headers if desired.

Four expansion slots line up with the ATX case expansion brackets, allowing you to use cards with external connectors. Note that these are aligned the "PCI way around" with components facing away from the board's I/O area, rather than the "ISA way around" which would have the components facing the I/O area. A further three of the expansion slots are available for internal use only.
