3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.7.3 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 sys- tem chipset. This provides an upgradeable audio and/or modem solution at an incred- ibly low cost. There are two types of AMR, one defined as primary and another de- fined 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. IMPORTANT: The AMR slot of this motherboard shares the same expansion slot as PCI Slot 3.
Because of this and its location, the slot can only accept a specially designed AMR card (optional). While a standard AMR card’s bracket is to the left of the card (facing the expansion slot), the specially-designed AMR card’s bracket is to the right of the card. For availability, see your vendor or dealer. 3. H/W SETUP Expansion Cards ® CUA To install the AMR card, face its components toward the serial ports. CUA Audio Modem Riser Connector 3.7.4 TV/LCD Slot This connector supports a specially designed TV/LCD slot to support an ASUS LCD- TV daughter card.
