3.7.3 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 motherboard’s Intel I/
O Controller Hub (ICH). This provides an upgradeable audio and/or modem solution
at an incredibly low cost. There are two types of AMR, one defined as primary and
another defined as secondary. This motherboard uses the primary channel so that a
secondary AMR can coexist without the need to disable the optional onboard CO-
DEC. The motherboard’s onboard CODEC (on audio model only) must be disabled
when using a primary AMR.
NOTE: An AMR is not included with this motherboard.
WARNING! Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or
removing an AMR or other system components. Failure to do so may cause
severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards (see 3.3 Hard-
ware Setup Procedure for more information).
