Expansion Slots
The system board is equipped with 1 AGP slot, 5 PCI slots (1
shared with CNR slot) and 1 CNR slot.
The AGP slot only supports 1.5V AGP 4x (1066MB/sec. bandwidth)
add-in cards. AGP is an interface designed to support high
performance 3D graphics cards for 3D graphics applications. It
handles large amounts of graphics data with the following features:
• Pipelined memory read and write operations that hide memory
access latency.
• Demultiplexing of address and data on the bus for nearly 100
percent efficiency.
CNR (Communication and Networking Riser) is an interface that
supports multi-channel audio, V.90 analog modem, phone-line based
networking or 10/100 Ethernet based networking riser board.

Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The system board comes with a DMI .0 built into the BIOS. The
DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information
about your system configuration and stores these information in the
DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play
BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is
designed to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of
computer systems easier. Refer to chapter 4 for instructions on using
the DMI utility.
