Installing An Agp Card - Intel D845PEBT2 Quick Reference

5 Installing an AGP Card

CAUTION
Care must be taken when installing an AGP card into an AGP slot.
When installing any AGP card in the desktop board, ensure that it is fully
seated in the AGP connector before you power on the system. If the card
is not fully seated in the AGP connector, an electrical short may result
across the AGP slot pins. Depending on the over-current protection of the
power supply, certain board components and/or traces may be damaged.

NOTE
The D845PEBT2 board is only compatible with 1.5 V AGP cards.
Desktop Board D845PEBT2 has an integrated AGP card retention mechanism
(RM). Follow these instructions to install an AGP card:
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 3.
2. Place the AGP card in the AGP connector.
3. Press down on the card until it is completely seated in the connector and the
card retention notch snaps into place below the RM.
4. Secure the card's metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw.
Install PCI cards into the PCI bus add-in card connectors on the desktop board.
To remove the AGP card, reverse steps taken when installing an AGP card.
Before removing the card, make sure to push back on the RM lever (A) until the
retention pin completely clears the notch in the card.
