IMPORTANT: If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support “Share IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or cards inoperable.

P4T Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP PRO)

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 will be using an AGP card without a retention notch. Removing may cause the

card to shift and may cause damage to your card, slot, and moth- erboard. 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.
