(MediaBus Card)

III. INSTALLATION

ASUS MediaBus Card

MediaBus allows a cost-efficient solution to a complete multimedia system. The

advantages of using one add-on card is to reduce the slot requirements and compat-

ibility problems in order to maximize the Plug and Play advantages. The add-on

card inserts into the shared PCI 4 / MediaBus 2.0 Slot.

NOTE: This motherboard uses MediaBus Rev. 2.0. The previous MediaBus

cards designed for MediaBus Rev. 1.2 will not fit into the MediaBus Rev 2.0

that is on this motherboard.

The difference between Rev. 1.2 and Rev. 2.0 is that the later revision has 72 pins

instead of 68 so it does not have to use any PCI slot signals reserved for PCI cards,

therefore the motherboard's PCI Slot 4 can meet standard specifications. The gap

between the MediaBus extension and the PCI Slot 4 has been increased from 0.32"

to 0.40" in order to prevent Rev. 1.2 MediaBus cards from being installed into the

new motherboards and vice versa.

The following are MediaBus cards designed for MediaBus 2.0 that can be used on

this motherboard:

• PCI-AS2940UW Ultra Fast/Wide SCSI & Audio MediaBus Card

• PCI-AV264CT-N PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card

• PCI-AV264VT PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card

• PCI-AV264GT PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card

• PCI-AV264GT/Plus PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card

The following are MediaBus cards designed for MediaBus 1.2 and therefore

cannot be used on this motherboard:

• PCI-AS7870 Fast/Wide SCSI & Audio MediaBus Card

• PCI-AV264CT PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card

• PCI-AV868 PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card

* All the above Audio features Creative Technology, Ltd.

* All the above Video features ATI, Inc. (AV868 Video features S3, Inc.)

* All the above SCSI features Adaptec, Inc.
