III. INSTALLATION (MediaBus Card) III. INSTALLATION ASUS MediaBus Card MediaBus allows a cost-efficient solution to a complete multimedia system. The advantages of using one add-on card is to reduce the slot requirements and compatibility problems in order to maximize the Plug and Play advantages. The add-on card inserts into the shared PCI 4 / MediaBus 2.0 Slot. NOTE: This motherboard uses MediaBus Rev. 2.0. The previous MediaBus cards designed for MediaBus Rev. 1.2 will not fit into the MediaBus Rev 2.0 that is on this motherboard. The difference between Rev. 1.2 and Rev. 2.0 is that the later revision has 72 pins instead of 68 so it does not have to use any PCI slot signals reserved for PCI cards, therefore the motherboard's PCI Slot 4 can meet standard specifications. The gap between the MediaBus extension and the PCI Slot 4 has been increased from 0.32" to 0.40" in order to prevent Rev. 1.2 MediaBus cards from being installed into the new motherboards and vice versa. The following are MediaBus cards designed for MediaBus 2.0 that can be used on this motherboard: • PCI-AS2940UW • PCI-AV264CT-N • PCI-AV264VT • PCI-AV264GT • PCI-AV264GT/Plus Ultra Fast/Wide SCSI & Audio MediaBus Card PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card The following are MediaBus cards designed for MediaBus 1.2 and therefore cannot be used on this motherboard: • PCI-AS7870 • PCI-AV264CT • PCI-AV868 Fast/Wide SCSI & Audio MediaBus Card PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card * All the above Audio features Creative Technology, Ltd. * All the above Video features ATI, Inc.
