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. 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 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). To install the adapter in PCI-E expansion slot, carefully line up the gold-fingered edge connector on the adapter directly above the expansion slot connector on the motherboard. Then press the adapter into place, completely. Use the (remaining) screw you removed to secure the adapter-retaining bracket in place. Replace the computer cover. Secure the cover with the mounting screws you removed in Step 3. 4. 5. 6. You have now completed the installation of your new graphics adapter on your system. 10 Upgrade Steps: Add or change your video adapter to an existing system, you may precede a few steps before you install the new hardware and software (video display driver). The followings are some of the considerations: 1. To add a new adapter, ensure the mainboard has available IRQ for new devices, and there is no conflict between each other. 2. If you try adding this video adapter to an ALL-IN-ONE mainboard (which video port built-in already), then you have to disable that port first. Otherwise, that will be a problem for the new video adapter setup. 3. The driver installation for system upgrade is the same as below, if error occurs when you proceed to step 1, 2 or 3, please consult with your system dealer or the existing hardware manufacturer support. Software Installation Windows® XP/2000 Driver Installation InstallShield® Program: Microsoft Windows® XP/2000 detects this new hardware and places appropriate display driver from its system folder automatically - it doesn't matter if you have added a new driver or changed the existing one. To maximize the video board acceleration and increase its performance, you may install the manufacturer's display driver as follows: 11 1. Autorun feature brings-up the "Welcome Screen", and you may point to "Display Driver" and then press on it. 2. Microsoft InstallShield® Wizard has start loading its setup process; please wait until it has completed. 12 3. Click on "Next" to continue the process. 4. The Windows system will copy all driver files from source media to your local hard disk; please wait until the process has completed. 13 5. Click on "Finish" to restart your computer, the new display driver will be in place after Windows boots-up. Notice: We believe that the all the installation steps mentioned above are clear from manufacturer software's CD to your operating system. Any procedures other than these processes have not been specified. Technical Assistance Q: Why is the display shifted or changed sizes when I switch display modes? Explain and Suggestion: Some monitors lack auto-sizing features or just do not synchronize properly to the video board output. In some cases, horizontal and vertical display adjustments may be necessary. Use the monitor control panel functions to adjust screen. In other cases, mode type and refresh rate adjustments may be necessary. Use the utility program, which provided by video card manufacturer or production 14 developer. To center the display with normal type (mode 3), and to reduce (decrease) the refresh rate with the monitor's specification. Q: What kind monitors can display 800x600 modes or higher resolution mode? Explain and Suggestion: To display 800x600 resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 31.5KHz horizontal scan rate (e.g., NEC 2A, 3D). At 72Hz refresh rate, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 48.0KHz scan rate (e.g., Sony HG 1304, NEC 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450). To display 1024x768 interlaced mode; the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 35.5KHz horizontal scan rate (e.g., NEC 3D, Seiko 1430 or 1440). To display 1024x768 non-interlaced mode at 60Hz, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 48.7KHz scan rate (e.g., Sony HG 1304, NEC 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450). To display 1024x768 non-interlaced mode at 70Hz, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 56.4KHz scan rate (e.g., NEC 4D). Q: System hangs-up after installing video driver. Explain and Suggestion: Today, most video drivers are developed for 32-bit processing and may require a channel to Code/Decode. Conflict between device drivers and TSR (terminateand-stay-resident) programs will inverted the display, and are particularly effectual at crashing computer. The most effective way to check for conflicts is to replace with the original video driver, or delete and re-install the current video driver to the system. Accomplishing IRQs (Interrupt Request Query) settings or troubleshooting the conflicts on hardware source may necessary. Most AGP video cards designed for Plug-n-Play, that means video card IRQ's setup which controls by main board's (motherboard) circuitry and BIOS. Physically pulling out other devices from system, and re-starts the computer. Confirm and modify your IRQ addresses with qualified computer technician. Q: Multiple images or unreadable screen after loading video driver. Explain and Suggestion: There are a variety of reasons why the display might be distorted. One common reason is a monitor mis-match. Some older multi-frequency monitors are unable to switch video modes without being turned off, then turned on again. If the problem occurring in windows, make sure that you have loaded that proper video driver, and that the driver is compatible with the monitor being used. Try reconfiguring your application software to use a compatible video mode. If problem persist in windows, load the standard generic VGA driver. The generic VGA 15 driver should function properly with virtually every video board and VGA (or SVGA) monitor available. If that is an unsatisfactory solution, you may have to upgrade to a monitor that supports the desired video mode. Some new monitors are also synchronizing this problem because built-in DDC (Data-Digital-Channel) feature. Sometime that DDC automatically setup the display frequency without loading video driver. Try to turn it off, or change settings of monitor type in your system. Q: Selection of color, resolution and refresh rate combination that always backs to default after restart the system. Explain and Suggestion: Accordingly, there must be a bug (defected source-code) in video driver, or in the system. Debug the source-code or fix the error in video driver that should be done by the driver developer. Likewise, upgrade the video driver from the manufacturer or from the original software developer is necessary.

Conversion Table: Pin Adapters If you will be using a 9-to-15-pin adapter cable to link your 9-pin monitor connector to the 15-pin accelerator card connector, check Table carefully before you install the cable. The 9-to-15 pin adapter cables are available from a variety of sources, but they need to match the specifications in Table to work properly with your new card. The adapter cable requires a D-shaped 9 pin female connector and a D-shaped 15 pin male connector. 9-to-15 Pin Conversion Table 9 PIN SIGNALS Red Green Blue Horz Sync Vert Sync Red Ground Green Ground Blue Ground Sync Ground Analog Video Signals Black Level = 0 V Full Intensity (White) Level = +0.7 V PIN NO. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 15 PIN SIGNALS Red Green Blue Horz Sync Vert Sync Return Red Return Green Return Blue Digital Ground Ground PIN NO. 1 2 3 13 14 6 7 8 10 5 Digital Visual Interface (DVI-I) Connector 1 8 C1 C2 17 24 C3 C4 17 24 pin DVI FEMALE connector built-in onboard.
