Installing Add-on Cards
The slots in this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and con-
nect them to the system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or
enhancing the motherboard’s features and capabilities. With these efficient
facilities, you can increase the motherboard’s capabilities by adding hardware
which performs tasks that are not part of the basic system.

The AGP slot is used to install 3D graphics adapter that supports the
8X AGP card which is
also backward compatible with 4X AGP card.

PCI Slots

PCI interface.
CNR Slot
This slot is used to insert CNR cards with Modem and Audio func-
tionality.
Note:
Before installing an add-on card, check the documentation for the card
carefully. If the card is not Plug and Play, you may have to manually con-
figure the card before installation.
