1.6 What is AGP ?
The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a new port on the Host-To-PCI bridge
device that supports an AGP port. The main purpose of the AGP port is to
provide fast access to system memory.
The AGP port can be used either as fast PCI port (32-bits at 66MHz vs. 32-bits
at 33MHz) or as an AGP port which supports 2x data-rate, a read queue, and
side band addressing. When the 2x-data rate is used the port can transmit data
at 533MB/sec (66.6*2*4). The read-queue can be used to pipeline reads –
removing the effects of the reads-latency. Side band addressing can be used to
transmit the data address on a separate line in order to speed up the
transaction.

3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
3.1. UNPACKING
The main board package should contain the following:
•The 6ZM7/6ZM7A main board.
•USER'S MANUAL for main board.
•Cable set for IDE, Floppy devices.
•CD for main board Utility. (Bus Master + Sound Driver + LDCM + Utility)
The main board contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily
damaged by static electricity, so the main board should be left in its original
packing until it is installed.
Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The
operator should be wearing an anti static wristband, grounded at the same
point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the main board carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling
may cause damage to your board. Be sure there are no shipping and handling
damages on the board before proceeding.
After opening the main board carton, extract the system board and place it only
on a grounded anti-static surface component side up. Again inspect the board
for damage. Press down on all of the socket IC's to make sure that they are
properly seated. Do this only on with the board placed on a firm flat surface.
M DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED.
