3-8 Supports AGP Card 3.3V Protection

The Intel® 865PE chipset supports 1.5 volt AGP graphics cards only. Using a 3.3 volt AGP card in an Intel® 865PE chipset-based board might damage the chipset on an 865PE-equipped mainboard. However, this mainboard features a protection function that prevents the system from powering on when a 3.3V AGP card is inadvertently inserted into the AGP slot.

If this happens, we recommend you to follow these steps:

Step 1: Remove the 3.3V AGP card from the AGP slot.

Step 2: Unplug the ATX/ATX12V power cable.

Step 3: Insert a 1.5V AGP card into the AGP slot.

Step 4: Wait for 5 ~ 7 seconds and then plug in the ATX/ATX12V power cord again (or turn on the ATX/ATX12V power switch) to turn on your system.

Note: There should be an interval of 5 ~ 7 seconds between unplugging and plugging in the power cord, or turning the ATX/ATX12V power supply on and off.
