Comments

Note: Unless otherwise specified, validation testing is performed using the system/motherboard default settings.
• In the system BIOS, set the Audio to Disabled.
• The onboard audio that comes with this motherboard is not compatible for use with the Matrox RT.X100 system, therefore we installed a third-party sound card.
