Introduction Video-117PCI-16 and Video-117PCI-32 are based on Trident Blade T16/T64TM (9970) Graphics Processor with PCI bus and DVD playback. With 128-bit memory bus at 143 MHz clock on PCI bus aggregation, the performance of these multimedia accelerators are beneficial to brings the DVD playback in real-time and the high density video formal expression at high pixel rate up to 286 million per second, and that is biggest unparalleled cost/performance graphics solution for today's desktop application. The most payoff on Trident Blade T16/T64TM (9970) is that integrates the advanced 2D/3D Graphics engine, which capable of supporting with DVD, video, and digital TV into a single chip solution. The overlying combines highly evolved per pixel 3D graphics engine setup and rendering with 2D graphical user interface (GUI) acceleration can blend the high speed low latency access on 128-bit totally. Taking expediency of Direct Memory Access (DMA) to retrieve textures from main memory, textures are no longer limited by local memory. Trident Hardware Assisted MPEG-2 Architecture (THAMATM) enables DVD playback support to the multimedia PC. Compared to software only DVD players, the combination of software based decode and hardware based motion compensation delivers smooth frame rates without overloading the processor, requires no extra frame buffer and minimum PCI Bus bandwidth. For maximum throughput, the Video-117PCI-16 & Video-117PCI-32 are use PCI bus interface that supports at up to 1.06 GByte per second transfer rate. Furthermore, Video-117PCI-16 & Video-117PCI-32 are subsistence Microsoft graphics standard - DirectX 7.0 Cubic mapping, and PC2001 compliant. Jaton Corporation, USA. 5 2.

Hardware installation 6.1 Installation Procedures !! WARNING !! Discharge static electricity by touching the GROUND such as metal part of your case connected with good power ground before you handle the electronic circuit boards. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused directly or indirectly, by improper installation of any components by unauthorized service personnel. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation, consult with a qualified computer technician. 11 6.2 Steps: 1. 2. 3. Turn OFF all powers to your system, including any peripherals (printer, external drives, modem, etc.). Disconnect the power cord and the monitor cable from the back of the computer. Unfasten the cover mounting screws on your system and remove the system cover. Refer to your system user manual for instructions to determine the location of the mounting screws. Remove any graphics adapter that already installed on your motherboard. Start by removing the screw that holds the adapter retaining bracket in place (keep this screw, you will need it later). Then, gently pull straight up on the adapter card itself, and remove it from the motherboard. Refer to your computer system manual for the location of the PCI bus expansion slots. Remove the retaining screw that holds the slot cover in place. Slide the slot cover out and put the screw aside (you will need it to secure the adapter). If you just removed an existing graphics adapter and are not going to use that expansion slot, you can install the slot cover you ...
