When AGP Protection Technology is implemented, this motherboard will automatically detect the voltage of AGP card and prevent your chipsets from being burnt out. Please note that if you install a AGP card with 3. 3V, which is not supported by Intel 845GE/PE, the AGP LED on the motherboard will light up to warn you the possible damage of the exceeding voltage. You may contact your AGP card vendor for further support. Warning: It is strongly recommended not to install a 3. 3V AGP card, which is not supported by Intel 845GE/PE. When you do so, the AGP_LED on the motherboard will light up to warn you the possible damage. AGP LED 60 AX4GE Tube- G / AX4PE Tube- G STBY LED (Standby LED) and BOOT LED Online Manual Both STBY LED and BOOT LED are AOpen's considerate designs that we aim at providing you friendly system information.
