Installing an expansion card

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The motherboard
has one PCI and one Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) slot. The following
sub-sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.
For Deluxe models, a 3-in-1 PCI card is pre-installed in the PCI slot.
You may refer to this section when installing a different PCI card on the
PCI slot.

2.7.1 Expansion slots

PCI slot
The PCI slot supports PCI cards such as a LAN card, SCSI card, USB
card, and other cards that comply with PCI specifications.
AGP slot
The AGP slot supports AGP 8X (+0.8V) cards and AGP 4X (+1.5V) cards.
When you buy an AGP card, make sure that you ask for one with +0.8V or
+1.5V specification.
Install only +0.8V or +1.5V AGP cards. The P4P8T motherboard does
not support 3.3V AGP cards.
P4P8T Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
If installing the ATi 9500 or 9700 Pro Series VGA cards, use only the
card version PN xxx-xxxxx-30 or later, for optimum performance and
overclocking stability.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing
expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and
damage the motherboard.
