AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot
The AGP slot allows you to insert the AGP graphics card. AGP is an interface specification
designed for the throughput demands of 3D graphics. It introduces a 66MHz, 32-bit channel for
the graphics controller to directly access main memory. The mainboard supports 4x AGP card.
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots
The PCI slots allow you to insert the expansion cards to meet your needs. When adding or
removing expansion cards, make sure that you unplug the power supply first. Meanwhile, read
the documentation for the expansion card to make any necessary hardware or software settings
for the expansion card, such as jumpers, switches or BIOS configuration.
CNR (Communication Network Riser) Slot
The CNR slot allows you to insert the CNR expansion cards. CNR is a specially designed
network, audio, or modem riser card for ATX family motherboards. Its main processing is done
through software and controlled by the motherboard chipset.
PCI Interrupt Request Routing
The IRQ, abbreviation of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q, are hardware lines over
which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. The PCI IRQ pins are typically
connected to the PCI bus INT A# ~ INT D# pins as follows:
Order1
PCI Slot 1
INT A#
PCI Slot 2
INT B#
PCI Slot 3
INT C#
Order2
Order3
INT B#
INT C#
INT C#
INT D#
INT D#
INT A#
Order4
INT D#
INT A#
INT B#
