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 proc ...
