Compatibility, service & archival notes
An AGP bridge card; do not substitute PCIe model's connector or BIOS data.
Inspect bridge cooling, 6-pin connector, capacitors and card length; verify AGP slot voltage and PSU. Preserve exact board BIOS and legacy Catalyst package.
- Check signaling, slot keying, lane width, power pinout, board/module dimensions, case clearance, airflow and PSU requirements for the exact specimen.
- Use drivers supporting its device ID and target OS. Preserve original installer and firmware copies, and record their versions before changes.
- Do not energize boards with corrosion, cracks, damaged connectors, obstructed cooling or suspected shorts; document condition before bench testing.
