Installing Add-On Cards - ECS P4VXMS User Manual

Note: Ribbon cable connectors are usually keyed so that
they can only be installed correctly on the device
connector. If the connector is not keyed, make sure
that you match the pin-1 side of the cable connector
with the pin-1 side of the device connector. Each
connector has the pin-1 side clearly marked. The
pin-1 side of each ribbon cable is always marked
with a colored stripe on the cable.
3. Plug the correct connector on the FDD cable for the
5.25-inch or 3.5-inch drive into the FDD connector (B).
4. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into
the power connector on the FDD (C).
When you first start up your system, go immediately to the
Setup Utility to configure the floppy diskette drives that you
have installed. See Standard CMOS Features on page 39 for
more information.

Installing Add-on Cards

This mainboard has three 32-bit PCI (Peripheral Components
Interconnect) expansion slots, one 4xAGP slot, and one CNR
slot.
4xAGP Slot The 4xAGP slot is used to install a graphics
adapter that supports the 8xAGP specifica-
tion and has a 4xAGP edge connector.
PCI Slots PCI slots are used to install expansion cards
that have the 32-bit PCI interface.
CNR The Communications Networking Riser
(CNR) slot can be used to insert a CNR card.
Note: Before installing an add-on card, check the docu-
mentation for the card carefully. If the card is not
Plug and Play, you may have to manually configure
the card before installation.
