Gigabyte GA-8TRS350MT User manual

Whenyou installing AGPcard,please make surethefollowing
notice isfullyunderstood and practiced.IfyourAGPcardhas
"AGP4X/8X(1.5V)notch"(showbelow),please make sureyour
AGPcardisAGP4X/8X(1.5V).
Caution:AGP2XcardisnotsupportedbyATiRS350.You might
experience systemunabletobootup normally.Please insert
anAGP4X/8Xcard.
Example1:Diamond VipperV770 golden fingeriscompatiblewith2X/4X
modeAGPslot. It can be switched betweenAGP2X(3.3V)or4X(1.5V)mode
byadjusting the jumper.The factorydefaultforthiscardis2X(3.3V).
The GA-8TRS350MT(oranyAGP4X/8Xonly)motherboardsmight
notfunction properly,ifyou install thiscardwithoutswitching the jumperto
4X(1.5V)mode init.
Example2:SomeATiRage 128 Prographics cardsmade by"PowerColor",
the graphics cardmanufacturer&someSiS305 cards,theirgolden fingeris
compatiblewith2X(3.3V)/4X(1.5V)modeAGPslot, buttheysupport
2X(3.3V)only.The GA-GA-8TRS350MT(oranyAGP4X/8Xonly)
motherboardsmightnotfunction properly,If you install thiscardinit.
Note:Although Gigabyte'sAG32S(G)graphics cardisbased on ATiRage
128 Prochip,the design ofAG32S(G)iscompliancewithAGP4X(1.5V)
specification.Therefore,AG32S(G)will workfine withATiRS350
based motherboards.
