Expansion Slots
This motherboard includes three 32-bit master PCI bus slots, one AGP slot.
PCI Slots
The expansion cards can be installed in the three PCI slots. W hen you install or
take out such cards, you must make sure that the power plug has been pulled out.
Please read carefully the instructions provided for such cards, and install and set
the necessary hardware and software for such cards, such as the jumper or BIOS
setup.
AGP Slot
This motherboard has an AGP slot that supports 1.5V AGP cards. AGP is an
interfacing specification designed to display 3D images. It provides a specialized
66MHz, 32-bit channel to allow the graphic controller to directly access the master
memory and supports 4X and 8X speeds.
Warning:
The motherboard may be damaged if a 3.3V AGP card is used. Make
sure that your AGP card is 1.5V specification. Note the notches on
the card golden fingers to ensure that they fit the AGP slot on your
motherboard.
Installing an expansion card
1. Before installing the expansion card, read carefully the documentation that
came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2. Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing any expan-
sion cards.
3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use.
4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is
completely seated in the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
