The AGP card RM (see Figure 13) encloses the board’s AGP connector and stabilizes the AGP
card. Place the board (component side up) on a flat, supportive surface, preferably on the
anti-static bag in which the board was shipped. Follow the steps outlined below to attach the
RM (A) to the AGP connector (B):
1. Locate the AGP connector (J5E1) on the board as shown below. Note that the board’s
silkscreen (C) indicates the correct final position of the lever (D) on the RM.
