Installing or removing AGP adapters
This section gives the procedure for installing an AGP adapter in
the dedicated AGP slot connector. If you want to remove an AGP

connector, go to “Installing or removing ISA and PCI adapters” on
page 82.
Notes:
1. You may install a video adapter in the dedicated AGP slot
connector, in an ISA slot connector, or in a PCI slot connector.
However, the server system board does not support the AGP
video connector and the integrated video subsystem
