CAUTION! The AGP Pro slot is shipped with a safety tab on the 20-pin bay for use with AGP cards without a retention notch. DO NOT remove this tab if you will be using such cards; removing may cause these cards to shift,

which may cause damage to your card, slot, and motherboard. Remove ONLY when you will be using an AGP Pro card. Use a rigid tip, such as a pen tip, to dislodge and remove the tab from the bay.

3.7.4 Audio Modem Riser (AMR) Slot

This connector supports a specially designed audio and/or modem card called an AMR. It provides an upgrade to audio and/or modem solutions at an incredibly low cost.

IMPORTANT: The AMR slot of this motherboard shares the same expansion slot as PCI Slot 5. Because of this and its location, the slot can only accept a specially designed AMR card. The components of a standard AMR card and its bracket face toward the edge of the motherboard while those of the specially-designed card face the expansion slots. For availability, see your vendor or dealer.
