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.

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 with 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/LCD
Connect the Monitor/DVI/TV (Optional)
Plug your monitor/DVI/TV cable into the monitor/DVI/TV connector on your
Graphic card. Make sure the other end of the monitor/DVI/TV cable is properly
connected to your monitor/DVI/TV.

) 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

Problem: When the system is starting up, there is a series of prolonged beeps.
Solution:
The VGA card may not be firmly inserted into the expansion slot. Ensure that the
gold-striped bus connector of the graphics card is properly inserted into the expansion
slot. Ensure this by pressing the card gently and evenly into the slot. Alternatively,
remove the card and re-insert it.
Problem: Monitor display flickers after Windows 95 or Windows 98 starts.
Solution:
Your monitor may not support the resolution or refresh rate that you have set. You
must use display settings supported by the monitor. To change the display settings:
(1) Restart your system in Windows 95/Windows 98 Safe mode. To do so:
