About the AGP Pro slot
If you are planning to install an AGP Pro-compliant card, a small plastic retention piece must be removed
from the AGP Pro slot before the card can be installed.
Figure 2.2a
First, make sure the card you're installing is an AGP Pro-compliant card. Next, locate the small plastic
retention piece in the AGP Pro slot (Figure 2.2a, above), and use a tool with a small hard tip (such as a
pen) to remove the retention piece (Figure 2.2b, above). Tyan recommends you save this piece for
future use (e.g. in case a regular AGP card is installed later on).
To further ensure that the AGP card will not rock back and forth, make sure that the metal endpiece of the
AGP card is flush with the motherboard edge.
Only remove the small plastic retention piece if you are going to install an AGP
Pro-compliant card. Installing a regular AGP card without the retention piece can
cause the card to rock back and forth, possibly damaging the card and/or mother-
board.
NOTE:
Tyan takes no reponsibility for and will not be held liable for damage related to use
of regular AGP cards without the retention piece installed.
