Back of

computer

Static electricity can severely damage electronic parts. Take these precautions:

)Before touching any electronic parts, drain the static electricity from your body.

You can do this by touching the internal metal frame of your computer while

it's unplugged.

)Don't remove a card from the anti-static container it shipped in until you're

ready to install it. When you remove a card from your computer, place it back

in its container.

)Don't let your clothes touch any electronic parts.

)When handling a card, hold it by its edges, and avoid touching its circuitry.

Before You Begin

Before you process further, make sure your computer system meets the peripheral

requirements and switch to the standard VGA display driver.

Prepare Your Computer for Installation

Prior to working on your computer, make sure the power of the computer and any

related equipment is turned off.

Select a Vacant Expansion AGP (PCI) Slot

Most computers have a combination of AGP, PCI and ISA expansion slots. AGP

slots are usually made from plastic of a contrasting brown color (beige color), and are

shorter than other slots in your computer. Your system manual should identify the

AGP or PCI slots, as appropriate for your model. Plugging your Graphic card into

an incorrect slot could damage the card, your computer, or both. Do not try to force a

card into a slot that does not accommodate it, as it is probably the wrong slot.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

Insert your Graphic Card

Remove the cover for the slot you intend to use and save the screw for the mounting

bracket. Then, pick up the Graphic card and position it over the expansion slot

you’ve chosen. Push the card firmly and evenly until it’s fully seated in the slot.

Replace the screw to secure the bracket of the Graphic card to the computer chassis.

Connect the Monitor/DVI (Optional)

Plug your monitor/DVI cable into the monitor/DVI connector on your Graphic card.

Make sure the other end of the monitor/DVI cable is properly connected to your

monitor/DVI.

)Before installing the Display driver, make sure your Windows 95/98/2000/NT

was installed in VGA mode and functions properly.

)For Windows 95 systems, please install DirectX before attempting to use the

MPEG Movie Player.

)To use an AGP graphics card with NT4.0, you may need to re-install NT with

Service Pack 3 (SP3) or later version before installing the AGP card.

)If you are running Windows NT4.0, please note that some drivers are not

compatible with earlier releases of Windows NT. Consult your dealer or local

support to ensure you have the most recent releases for Windows NT and the

drivers.
