CNR Slot
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 intro-
duces a 66MHz, 32-bit channel for the graphics controller to directly access
main memory and provides one level of throughput: 4x (1.07Gbps).
PCI Slots
Three 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)
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 mainboards. Its
main processing is done through software and controlled by the motherboard's
chipset.
