3.7.4 Audio Modem Riser (AMR) Slot
This connector supports a specially designed audio and/or modem card called an AMR.
Main processing is done through software and controlled by the motherboards sys-
tem chipset. This provides an upgradeable audio and/or modem solution at an incred-
ibly low cost. There are two types of AMR, one defined as primary and another de-
fined as secondary. This motherboard uses the primary channel so that a secondary
AMR can coexist without the need to disable the onboard CODEC. The motherboards
onboard CODEC (optional) must be disabled when using a primary AMR.
NOTE: An AMR is not included with this motherboard.

WARNING! If you are using an old AGP 2X card (which does not have a reten-
tion notch), make sure that the cards connector pins are firmly seated between the
20-pin and 28-pin bays of the AGP Pro slot. DO NOT allow any of the cards
connectors to shift into the 20-pin bay. Otherwise, the card and the slot may be
damaged or burnt.
WARNING! Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or re-
moving an AGP card, an AMR or any other system components. Failure to do so
may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards (see 3.3
Hardware Setup Procedure for more information).
