3. HARDWARE SETUP

CAUTION!

The AGP Pro slot is shipped with a safety tab on the 20-pin bay for

use with AGP cards without a retention notch. DO NOT remove
this tab if you will be using such cards; removing may cause these
cards to shift, which may cause damage to your card, slot, and
motherboard. Remove ONLY when you will be using an AGP
Pro
card. Use a rigid tip, such as a pen tip, to dislodge and re-
move the tab from the bay.

3.7.3 Accelerated Graphics Port Pro (AGP Pro)

This motherboard provides an Accelerated Graphics Port Pro (AGP Pro) slot to sup-
port AGP/AGP Pro graphics cards, such as an ASUS AGP-V6800DDR/64M.

CAUTION!

To avoid damaging your AGP/AGP Pro graphics card, your computer’s

power supply should be unplugged before inserting your graphics card into the slot.

3.7.4 Audio Modem Riser (AMR) Slot

This connector supports a specially designed audio and/or modem card called an AMR.
Main processing is done through software and controlled by the motherboard’s sys-
tem chipset. This provides an upgradeable audio and/or modem solution at an incred-
ibly low cost.

IMPORTANT:

The AMR slot of this motherboard shares the same expansion slot

as PCI Slot 5. Because of this and its location, the slot can only accept a specially
designed AMR card (optional). The components of a standard AMR card and its
bracket face toward the edge of the motherboard while those of the specially-
designed card face the expansion slots. For availability, see your vendor or dealer.
