A7V Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP PRO)

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.
