Slots

The motherboard provides one AGP slot, five 32-bit PCI bus slots and one 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 introduces a 66MHz, 32-bit channel for the graphics controller to directly access main memory. The slot supports 4x (1.07Gbps) and 8x (2.1Gbps) AGP cards.

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.

PCI Slots

CNR Slot

The CNR slot allows you to insert the CNR expansion cards. CNR is a specially designed audio, or modem riser card for ATX family motherboards. Its main processing is done through software and controlled by the motherboard’s chipset.
