AMR (Audio Modem Riser) Slot, 1.5.2 CPI (Peripheral Component Interconnector) Slots

Page 21 highlights

Chapter 1 Motherboard Description 1.5.1 AMR (Audio Modem Riser) Slot The AMR specification is an open Industry Standard Architecture that defines a hardware scalable riser card interface, which only supports audio and modem. 1.5.2 PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots This motherboard is equipped with 3 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards supplanted the older ISA bus standard in most parts. This PCI slot is designated as 32 bits. 1.5.3 ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) Slot The motherboard is equipped with one standard ISA slot. ISA stands for Industry Standard Architecture, and it was designed as a bus standard for expansion cards in the early 90's for PC XT/AT machines. This motherboard retains backward compatibility with this older and slower bus architecture. 1-16

1.5.1 AMR (Audio Modem Riser) Slot
The AMR specification is an open Industry Standard Architecture that defines a
hardware scalable riser card interface, which only supports audio and modem.
1.5.2 PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots
This motherboard is equipped with 3 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral
Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards supplanted the
older ISA bus standard in most parts. This PCI slot is designated as 32 bits.
1.5.3 ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) Slot
The motherboard is equipped with one standard ISA slot.
ISA stands for Industry
Standard Architecture, and it was designed as a bus standard for expansion cards in
the early 90’s for PC XT/AT machines. This motherboard retains backward
compatibility with this older and slower bus architecture.
