Installing the Motherboard
Installing Add-on Cards
The slots on this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and
connect 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
that performs tasks that are not part of the basic system.
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 configure the card before installation.
Follow these instructions to install an add-on 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 add-on card into the expansion
slot. Ensure that the edge connector is correctly seated in the
slot.
3. Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a
screw.
For some add-on cards, for example graphics adapters and
network adapters, you have to install drivers and software be-
fore you can begin using the add-on card.
AGP Slot The AGP slot is used to install a graphics adapter that
supports the 8x/4x AGP specification. It is AGP 3.0
compliant.
PCI Slot
CNR Slot This slot is used to insert CNR cards with Modem and
Audio functionality.
661FX-M Deluxe is equipped with three standard PCI
slots. PCI stands for Peripheral Compponent Inter-
connect and is a bus standard for expansion cards, which
for the most part, is a supplement of the older ISA bus
standard. The PCI slots on this board are PCI v2.3
compliant.
