SOYO SY-P4VM800 Quick Start Guide
2.4 Installing the Expansion Cards
The motherboard holds 1 AGP 4X/8X slot, 3 PCI slots, and 1 CNR slot. Special attention
should be paid when installing an AGP card. Ensure your AGP card is compliant with AGP
4X/8X specifications with 1.5 & 0.8v power consumption. Accidentally or intentionally
installing an incompatible AGP 1X/2X card may cause serious damage to the
motherboard and attached components and void the warranty. Some powerful AGP cards
may require additional power supply to sustain normal operation. Ensure all installed
expansion cards align with and firmly attach to their corresponding slots before powering
on the system.
1. Refer to the documentation of AGP card for its compatibility with the motherboard.
2. Press the expansion card firmly into the corresponding expansion slot.
3. Be sure the gold contact fingers of the card are secured in place.
4. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.
5. Attach additional power cable to the AGP card if necessary.
