Here you can see the two PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots and three PCI-Express x1 slots as previously discussed. Just drop them graphics cards in there for a multi-GPU combo, the lowest it'll drop to is a x8 gen3 lane configuration, meaning you still have good bus bandwidth for current generation graphics cards.
The Z97 machine makes use of a standard ATX form factor and comes with a diagnostic POST status LED and power/reset buttons on-board.
Below the lower PCIe slot you'll see this cute small connector, this in fact is a M.2 PCIE SSD port. This new connector offers 10 Gbps storage bandwidth. It seats 2242/2260/2280 SSDs.
