Accelerated Graphics Port Slot

The HP Workstation x2100 has one Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) graphics slot.

Figure 2-4

AGP Slot

The AGP Pro 1.5V slot provides graphics performance for high-end graphics cards,
combining AGP 4X bandwidth (data transfer rates as fast as 1056MB/sec) with the
ability to accept high-end graphics cards drawing up that draw as much as 110W of
power.

To accommodate AGP Pro cards, the AGP PRO slot connector is wider than the standard
AGP 4X connector. To meet the increased power requirements of AGP Pro graphics
cards, additional pins are present at both ends of the connector.

An AGP Pro card may draw power either from the existing part of the AGP Pro
connector, the extended part, or a combination of the two. In all cases, the maximum
power that an AGP Pro card may draw is limited to 110W in the workstation models.
Power on the existing part of the connector is delivered on 5.0V and 3.3V rails. Power on
the extension is delivered on the 12V and 3.3V rails.

You can use either standard AGP graphics cards or AGP Pro graphics cards that draw
less than 50W of power. (Below 25W, you can use a standard AGP connector.) Power is
provided through 3.3V, 5V, or 12V power rails.
