Installing and Removing an AGP Card

CAUTION
When installing any AGP card on 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 connector pins. Depending on the over-current
protection of the power supply, certain board components and/or traces may be damaged.
NOTE
The AGP connector is keyed for 1.5 V and 0.8 V AGP cards only. Do not attempt to install a legacy
3.3 V AGP card. The AGP connector is not mechanically compatible with legacy 3.3 V AGP cards.
The AGP connector supports 1.5 V (4x and 1x) and 0.8 V (8x) AGP cards. The desktop board has
an integrated AGP card retention mechanism (RM).

Installing an AGP Card

Follow these instructions to install an AGP card:
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 27.
2. Place the card in the AGP connector.
3. Press down on the card until it is completely seated in the AGP connector and the card retention
notch snaps into place around the RM pin.
4. Secure the card's metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw.
