3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.7.3 Assigning DMA Channels for ISA Cards Some ISA cards, both legacy and PnP, may also need to use a DMA (Direct Memory Access) channel. DMA assignments for this motherboard are handled the same way as the IRQ assignment process described earlier. To select a DMA channel, see PCI/ PNP ISA DMA Resource Exclusion in 4.4.3 PCI Configuration. NOTE: The onboard audio by default uses DMA1. IMPORTANT: To avoid conflicts, reserve the necessary IRQs and DMAs for legacy ISA cards (see PCI/PNP ISA IRQ Resource Exclusion in 4.4.3 PCI Configuration). Choose Yes in IRQ xx Used By ISA and DMA x Used By ISA for those IRQs and DMAs you want to reserve). 3.7.4 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 onboard CODEC. The motherboard's onboard CODEC must be disabled when using a primary AMR. NOTE: An AMR is not included with this motherboard. 3. H/W SETUP Expansion Cards 01 01 01 ® CUWE CUWE Audio Modem Riser (AMR) Connector 30 ASUS CUWE User's Manual

Access) channel. DMA assignments for this motherboard are handled the same way
as the IRQ assignment process described earlier. To select a DMA channel, see

IMPORTANT:
To avoid conflicts, reserve the necessary IRQs and DMAs for
legacy ISA cards (see
