Expansion Slots Installation

This mainboard has two 32-bit PCI (Peripheral Components
Interconnect) expansion slots, one 4xAGP slot, and one CNR slot.

PCI Slots

PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the
32-bit PCI interface.

4 x AGP Slot

The 4xAGP slot is used to install a graphics adapter that supports
the 4xAGP specification and has a 4xAGP edge connector.

CNR Slot

The Communications Networking Riser (CNR) slot can be used to
insert a CNR card.

1. Remove a blanking plate from the system case

corresponding to the slot you are going to use.

2. Install the edge connector of the expansion card

into the expansion slot. Ensure that the edge
connector is correctly seated in the slot.
