2.12.2 Installing an AGP Card

When installing an AGP card, make sure that the IRQ required by the card is not
already assigned to a PCI or ISA device to avoid resource conflicts.

Follow these steps when installing an AGP card:

1. Locate the AGP slot on the main board. See Figure 2-1 for the slot location.

2. Insert an AGP card into the slot. Make sure that the card is properly seated.

When you turn on the system, BIOS automatically detects and assigns

resources to the AGP device.

BIOS detects and configures only PnP cards.
