When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following notice
is fully understood and practiced.
If your AGP card has "AGP 4X/8X
(1.5V) notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP
4X/8X.
Caution: AGP 2X card is not supported by nVIDIA
®
nForce
™
2 Ultra 400.
You might experience system unable to boot up normally. Please
insert an AGP Pro 4X/8X card.
Example 1: Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is compatible with 2X/4X
mode AGP slot. It can be switched between AGP 2X(3.3V) or 4X(1.5V) mode
by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is 2X(3.3V). The
GA-7N400 Pro2 / GA-7N400 / GA-7N400-L (or any AGP 4X/8X only)
motherboards might not function properly, if you install this card without
switching the jumper to 4X(1.5V) mode in it.
Example 2: Some ATi Rage 128 Pro graphics cards made by "Power Color",
the graphics card manufacturer & some SiS 305 cards, their golden finger is
compatible with 2X(3.3V) / 4X(1.5V) mode AGP slot, but they support
2X(3.3V) only. The GA-7N400 Pro2 / GA-7N400 / GA-7N400-L (or any AGP
4X/8X only) motherboards might not function properly, If you install this card
in it.
Note : Although Gigabyte's AG32S(G) graphics card is based on ATi Rage
128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S(G) is compliance with AGP 4X(1.5V)
specification. Therefore, AG32S(G) will work fine with nVIDIA
®
nForce2 Ultra
400 based motherboards.
Before you install PCI cards, please remove the Dual BIOS label from PCI
slots if there is one.
