CAUTION! The AGP Pro slot is shipped with a warning label over the 20-pin bay. DO NOT remove this label and the safety tab underneath it if you are using an AGP card without a retention notch. Removing may cause the

card to shift and may cause damage to the card, slot, and motherboard. Remove the label and tab ONLY if you are using an AGP Pro card. Use a rigid tip, such as a pen tip, to dislodge
